Ullapool has so many fascinating stories. Looking forward to going back on 5th May - not with Art UK to meet this warrior at Ullapool High School but to talk at the Ullapool Book Festival about the remarkable, Isobel Wylie Hutchison and her Scottish Journeys from my book Peak Beyond Peak. Do come along and say hello.

Lovely link in book I'm reading by Amanda Thomson, 'Belonging', & my book of essays by #IsobelWylieHutchison Peak Beyond Peak, (Taproot Press).
Both fascinated by #culbinforest near Forres. IWH watches the process of thatching dunes, "Corsican pine has proved the most suitable type to grow, but Scots and 'Lodgepole' pine (Pinus Contorta)are also used." & 70 years later Amanda shares her questions & thoughts. "I can't help but wonder how this landscape has changed..."

It's #worldbookday
Why not take yourself on a new journey inspired by the remarkable #IsobelWylieHutchison ?

In 1956 isobel Wylie Hutchison wrote
"I took a dip in the ocean. Miss Revis shuddered asking how I could stand such cold water.
“Why, it can’t be invigorating if it isn’t cold,” I explained.
Miss Revis remained politely skeptical."
It's in the chapter 'Famous Literary Shrines of Scotland' in my book Peak Beyond Peak.
#IsobelWylieHutchison was so ahead of her time, even with what is now called #WildSwimming

Tomorrow night at 9pm on BBC Alba there will be a fascinating documentary about Isobel Wylie Hutchison with footage from #Greenland
I'm looking forward to discovering more about this astonishing Scottish woman.
Here's a link to an article in The Herald about her. #IsobelWylieHutchison

This Tuesday at 9pm on BBC Alba, Caledonia TV present Kirsty Macdonald following in the footsteps of Isobel Wylie Hutchison, the remarkable Scottish explorer, botanist, filmmaker, writer and poet.
I'm very excited to see this documentary and see how the people of Greenland respond to Isobel's films and stories of their lives 100 years ago.

Don't miss it.

A friend loved #PeakBeyondPeak and said #isobelwyliehutchison mentioned so many places she'd never heard of but would love to visit. She's going to have to read it again. 😊 perhaps I should have created an appendix of places? If you want to discover more, #taprootpress have an offer on.

#ullapool I feel honoured to be part of the final Ullapool Book Festival next year. It will be the end of an era as this festival has obtained such a high status among readers and writers alike.
It will be a great loss.
It will also be fantastic to be reading from Peak Beyond Peak to bring back the writing of the remarkable #IsobelWylieHutchison especially in this setting. Roll on May.

#Introduction to me.
Many strings to my bow and I often get thoroughly #tangled in them. I #write, #read, fight against #injustice, #manage things, #babysit my grandkids, #walk and #eat. I never cook and I am not musical although I love #music and manage my partner, @DmytroMorykit
I used to work in #business but discovered that the #creative arts although equally competitive, were kinder in an underhand sort of way. 😍
Taproot Press have published my book of essays by #IsobelWylieHutchison 🥳
