Hame content efter a great jaunt tae Caithness. A photo of me at the restored mill wi Jeri Cormack, Rogni Brown & @Baseline53. Loved seeing Dunbeath harbour and the monument to Neil Gunn. The seascapes and sunsets around John o’ Groats were spectacular. Braw.

Look forward to being in Caithness again. 1 of the best jobs I ever had was in 1976/77 when I was a tour guide on a multilingual coach tour of Scotland for French & German folk. They loved the cliffs & seascapes of the far north. The Station Hotel in Wick was an experience too!
For a quarter of a century Billy Kay has collected oral history, which has been edited into more than two hundred radio documentaries and published in his Odyssey books and elsewhere.
Catch up with Billy on Friday evening

“Here’s to the Land o Cakes and brither Scots, fae Maidenkirk tae John o Groats!” wrote Burns in his great toast to Scotland. Totally appropriate then for this lad who was also born in Kyle to take Ayrshire language & culture to the Scots speaking airts of Caithness @Baseline53

Very much looking forward to my trip to Scotland’s North Country next month and visiting Caithness for the first time in a long while. The venue too is very special - the newly restored John o’ Groats Mill. A splendid evening is in store, so hope to see you there.
