Wonderful evening to raise awareness of the role of women in resisting delivery of eviction notices in Coigach in 1850s. They’re fundraising in Achiltibuie for a sculpture celebrating local women whose names have not been forgotten. Site overlooks the gorgeous Summer Isles
What a fantastic, moving and spirited evening at Coigach Community Hall in Achiltibuie with @sallymag1 in conversation with S G MacLean. Music, history, community … and Music in the Dark. @mslisahighton

Iceland has a web page for the upcoming presidential election. You can go in and enter your name in support of a candidate. In an attempt to do so, apparently 11 people accidentally registered as candidates and are now running for president. Looking forward to the TV debates.
