ISLAND TRAVELOGUE

On March 4th Mairi Hedderwick (alias Katie Morag) gave a slide show in the Village Hall on her six month solo campervan tour of the Hebrides. Starting in Arran in March '88 and ending up in Lewis, via St. Kilda, in October, the journey encompassed 40 islands. Hundreds of sketches for her first adult book 'An Eye on the Hebrides’ (some of which were shown in slide form as well as photographs) were the outcome of the trip.

There was a great turnout for the event, nearly everyone arriving exactly on time, which took Mairi quite by surpise as did the most generous ‘silver’ (mostly green paper) collection in aid of Coll Magazine funds.
