STOP PRESS

APOLOGY: We regret that, due to the Editor's computer having been hacked, we cannot produce a July edition, which was due on July 5th. Sorry.

URGENT: The 1937 bronze indicator plate on Beinn a' Gudairean has been prised from its base and removed, on some date between September 8 (seen by Tom Smith) and Christmas. It will be helpful to close that gap further - if you have a dated photograph, or if you have seen it in position (or missing) and can give a precise date, please reply here or email byrne@colonsay.org.uk or call 01951 200320. Any information will be welcome. The plate can be left at any police station, yacht club or church with a label to contact the above number. If you have a rubbing or a good picture of the plate, please get in touch.

Thanks to Ruari Cumming ARPS, we now have a good image of the plate itself:

The University of Ulster will be conducting an archaeological "dig" at Dun Cholla for one day, Tuesday 19 June and we understand that members of the public will be made most welcome either as observers or participants. Keep an eye on local notice-boards for further information.

ISSUE 248, June 2012

For various technical reasons, there is a break with tradition this month.... Geaspar Byrne has kindly prepared the issue as a PDF, but by embedding it in this skeleton cover we still have the option to add Stop Press or Rolling news if required. Follow this link to:
