LETTER FROM SCOTLAND - End of Year Review
Shenanigans, Sheepdogs and Shipwrecks litter the pages of this good news final Letter from Scotland of 2024.
The bad news of the old year is left behind as the stories from this Podcast focus on the good news. So, if you only revel in crisis-driven bad news, then switch off now.
Political shenanigans are confined to the bin. Warm hearted sheepdogs take their place as do one eyed cats, but the finale’ of this Newsletter is left to an extraordinary story of a Shipwreck survivor and the niece who travelled to the North West of Scotland to visit the site and to hear, first hand, of her uncle’s incredible survival. We visit Loch Ewe where the SS William H Welsh, a United States Liberty Ship, sank in a terrible storm in February 1944. Out of 74 crew, only 12 men survived and John King, uncle to Margie Gill, was one of those men. It is not just a story of survival, but one of great fortitude and heroism on the part of locals who lived in the area of Altbea, around Loch Ewe. It is about Crofting women who fought their way across open boggy terrain in atrocious weather to get to the survivors and to keep them alive in freezing conditions. It is a good news story of simple folk overcoming overwhelming odds to help those in desperate need. It’s about Highland folk, doing what Highland folk do - provide Highland hospitality at its best. Hear from Roy Macintyre, now 90 years old, who was witness to this tragedy and met John King, uncle to Margie Gill.
This Letter from Scotland - review of 2024 - is about putting last year to bed and looking forwards with hope for 2025. Enjoy!

    Many years ago I was guiding UK Yamaha Diversion club to Portree from Ft. William, 37 bikes. On the way back spotting road down to ferry quick decision was made to take it. Superb experience, especially views to Glen Shiel. Back at Ft.Bill in the pub the troops were ecstatic about their day❤

    I remember when the Kings late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was reposing in St Giles Cathedral, and even though I was living just over 20 miles from london at the time, I decided to drive to Scotland to pay my respects as I knew I would have more chance of being able to do this than in London. And so I drove through the night to Edinburgh and was there at first light, and duly managed to get into the cathedral later that day to pay my respects. I think I will return soon in my little caravan as I miss Scotland very much. I was born in England to Scottish and Irish parents but have felt drawn back for so long now to my Celtic roots that I need to return soon. And for good. So what if it's cold! The feelings of belonging somewhere are more than warm. Thank you for the video dear. 🙋👍🙏🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🕊️
