Kinloch: to infinity and beyond!!

Here's hoping that Spring is really on the way and we have managed to weather the icy grip of winter. This is especially true of Kintyre, where the last week has seen the good folk of the real Kinloch struggle in Arctic temperatures without heat, light and ample food supplies - not to mention a dearth of information and a shameful lack of coverage of their plight by the mainstream media.

I know I've blogged on about this before, however it seems to me that Kintyre is all too often a forgotten realm, somewhere bordering on myth and legend where TV, radio and print journalists risk being turned to stone, should they be brave enough to to head south of Tarbert!

When I first sent Whisky From Small Glasses out to agents, one bold luminary informed me that, while my book was excellent, the location and the local dialect used would ensure that nobody would want to read it. 

'Where is this Kintyre, anyway?' - he asked. 'Far better you change the location to North Yorkshire - or Cornwall, perhaps...' 

Now that Jim Daley is about to reach a whole new - even worldwide - audience, via exciting and ongoing developments, I trust he is eating his words. 

Here's to you Kintyre! May all your snows be merely 'dustings'!
