Morag Skene has done most artistic things once! She's had a story broadcast
on BBC Radio Scotland, sung with a jazz band, written and directed one play, one
panto and even played a dame — once. She's written a poem, survived a whole
tap routine and a 13-minute monologue — but not at the same time!

Linda Smith writes: ‘Retired noo an bidin in Kintore, far I hiv nae
problem fillin ma days wi grandbairns, faimly an freens, stravaigin aboot the countryside
an aywis the writin.’

Native to the Central Belt, musician Tom Dailly now lives in north Aberdeenshire
where he is often taken for Glaswegian although, as any proper Weegie will point
out, he sounds like he just came in from the sticks. Currently he plans to spend
a lot more time in the garden.
