After a bit of a lull, suddenly it's all happening on the Sir Thomas anniversary front. Cromarty Arts Trust have now put full details of the programme and speakers for their conference on 15/16 April on their website - see www.urquhartconference.org.uk.

Closer to home, our own plans for a children's book on Sir Thomas have taken a big step forward with Highland LEADER paying our grant into our bank account this week. This means that we can now go to print. Printing shouldn't take too long, as everything is camera-ready, so look out for the book launch in a few weeks time.
