A New Baby in Kilchoan



Congratulations to Katie Bryson and Graeme Stafford on the birth of their daughter, Gracie Jane, in Raigmore hospital at 4.30 this morning.  Katie, who is a specialist in homeopathic medicines, and Graeme, who is a painter and decorator and plays the keyboards for Skye band Peatbog Faeries, live in Pier Road.

Katie did everything she could to have her baby at home in Kilchoan, but Gracie preferred the idea of being born in Inverness so, although she was due before Christmas, she stayed put until her mum was safely in hospital.

In a small and remote community like this, children are extra special - after all, they are its future.  Gracie has chosen a wonderful place in which to grow up, but she also arrives at an important time, for in the last few months seven children have moved away from West Ardnamurchan, leaving our primary and nursery school with a role of fourteen.
