Welcome to the Sixty-Second WebEdition of The Magazine.

If you are emailing me for any reason, can you put KintyreMag in the Subject line, please, then I can separate out all the genuine input from the spam, of which, I am sure, we all receive too much 
Also a wee reminder: If you email me I'll post your email on the Wee Drams site unless you specifically advise me otherwise.

We have a bumper bundle on the Wee Drams page this issue so enjoy.

'The Campbeltown Book' is now in print and contains some wonderful articles, stories and pictures of bygone days in the Burgh. Check out the Advertisements page for details.

Have a wee look at this site: http://www.machrihanish.net and see also Page 3 in this edition.

I had a grand Christmas this year and I heard from many old friends at home and across the water.  Helen and I saw the New Year in on our own - as is our habit - and we hope for ourselves and all of you good folks out there all you could wish for in 2004.
The old year wasn't the greatest there ever was but we're here and we're able to raise a toast.
I think that the best toast we can make is 'Absent Friends'.

Here's tae ye a'

Until the next time

Ca' canny.
