Further along the A87, heading East through Glen Shiel, is the memorial cairn for Robert MacKenzie.

His story is here. A macabre tale that involves a dismembered head being toured around the country... in error.

Thinking back on the work I did in 2021 for the online costume collection, including a talk I gave about Spitalfields Silk in the Scottish Highlands in the 18th Century.

I will be pursuing a line of enquiry prompted by this research, for my masters dissertation this coming year.
