Welcome to the Seventy-First WebEdition of The Magazine.

Hello again folks. This issue is a wee bit late getting online. Sorry about that.

My work is keeping me away from home more and more and I'm a member of a couple of committees which means I don't get to the Magazine as often as I used to.  This means that the online KintyreMag will be going quarterly. The next issue will be online from the beginning of October 2005 and thereafter from January 2006.

Do enjoy the bumper crop of emails on the Wee Drams page in this edition.

Helen and I have just had a week's leave during which we did a lot of work in the house and garden. It needed doing and we worked really hard. It looks pretty nice now and Helen is happy which, of course, is all that counts.

I received an email from my friend Heather McFarlane which included the question, "Have you heard of this DNA fellow, in Oxford, who is doing DNA studies of descendents of Somerled, etc?" Anyone heard of this chap?

By the way, do have a wee look at this site from Ailsa McKay Forshaw: Build Your Own House

Finally. Remember that all emails sent to me re the Magazine will be edited and published in the
Wee Drams section unless you specifically advise otherwise.

Until the next time

Ca' canny.
