We are a charity based in the beautiful Highland town of Cromarty, on the Black Isle. Our goals are to promote and embrace the arts, education, environment, history of the Highlands, and the conservation of buildings of historical or architectural importance.
Welcome to our second May Enews.
These newsletters go out approximately every fortnight to keep you up to date with all our latest gigs, courses, workshops, exhibitions, news and events. You can also keep informed via our website and Facebook and Twitter pages.
CORRECTION!
In our last Enews, it was reported that the winner of the adult category of our Crime & Thrillers Weekend short story writing competition was Neil Hampton of Inverness. This should have read NEIL HEPBURN, a talented, burgeoning local writer.
Huge apologies to Neil, and to all, for any confusion / embarrassment this senior moment has caused.
