Jamie Stone: 'I am a sadder and wiser man'. "So what about these Russians then?" I remember this gloomy question to my father one sunny autumn day.

Jamie Stone: 'I am a sadder and wiser man'. AN invitation came from Thurso High School to take part in a Question Time session with the Higher History class - something that in the past I had done every year during my time as an MSP.

By the time you read this, it will probably be virtually all over. We'll know who our Highland councillors are. Now then, a personal appeal to any Northern Times readers living in and around Tain - if you find a medium dark grey (with just a hint of blue) VW Golf front fender/bumper lying about, then it is mine and I would be very pleased to have it back. They are expensive things after all.

Years and years ago, before I knew Durness (and Durness knew me), my wife and I went to stay there for our wedding anniversary. It was a memorable visit for a number of reasons - one being that on our way to Durness, at Bettyhill in fact, our car playfully decided to disable all the gears, save third and reverse.
