I'm sorry to be missing this event on Sunday:

Walking Tour of the Kinlochmoidart Estate:

Dr Andrew MacKillop will be leading a walk on Sunday, 11 October 2015. Anyone who would like to come is invited to meet at 2pm in the carpark near the church at Kinlochmoidart on the A861 (OS ref NM 70978 72710)

Mackillop will follow this by an evening lecture at 7.30 pm at the Glenuig Hall. The talk will be on Kinlochmoidart and its connections with Slavery.
