Iain,
I thought you were on holiday and I could sneak that piece out. It could have been anyone designing a tourism app!

Oh, the dangers of writing an essay and emailing without edit.Calum had sold the fish to the Garbet Hotel (now the Kinlochbervie Hotel) and of course, his name is not “Calum Gunn”.
- Lynda Henderson: A short apprenticeship in poaching
A story which has passed into family folklore concerns me at 12 years old, a local poacher teaching illicit skills, a gaff, and a ruddy big salmon.Long story short, I dropped the gaff and went in after the fish to catch it by hand. The next day, the local poacher handed my father a ten pound note which the Garbet (now the Kinlochbervie Hotel) paid for the monster. In 1969, it seemed a fortune.
Thanks for the story. As you’ll guess, it brought a memory back.
- Nick Bowles: Review of Alistair Strang’s ‘State of Independence’
Morag.Considered industry advice was to use the Kindle ebook route for publication as ‘proper’ book sales are in rapid decline.
The argument given was simple. I was asked when I last visited a bookshop to browse?However, I’m considering commissioning a single print run in 2012 – essentially as I wish to give my Mum a ‘proper’ copy.
Once I have further details about the economics of the project I shall mention it here with FA’s permission.

- Nick Bowles: Review of Alistair Strang’s ‘State of Independence’
In case anyone thinks the sun shining today is a rare weather phenomena, it actually has rather more to do with the pleasurable glow emanating from me.Having been utterly terrified of ridicule, Nick’s review above has now emplaced a silly grin which I suspect will require surgical treatment!
There is a Santa and his name is Nick.

Mr Strang, sorry about that chat getting in the way of making you money. It’s a good tip plus what shame a good (only) Scottish gold mind has to pivot round the stock market so that they can get 5 tonnes out the mine. The phrase “it’s a gold mine springs to mind” must have been coined from somewhere? Plus good to see you out in the open giving advice for free.
PS speak soon but will wait till the markets shut next time.
