Great weather for today's Duck Race down on the Carra at Waterfoot, if a bit fresh! A good turnout as usual, with excellent BBQ and home baking available for consumption before the piper took us all down to the river for the releasing of the ducks. A quick plug now for a new book about Kintyre. Carol McNeill's 'Old Kintyre' has recently come out and Carradale features prominently with some splendid photos of times gone by. It's a great little book and well recommended. RRP is £7.99 and the ISBN number is 978-1840333992. You can order it direct from the author by email to fifepublicity@ukonline.co.uk, via the publisher's website at www.stenlake.co.uk, or ask in your local bookshop. |
