That world-famous institution, the University of Kilchoan, has chalked up yet another success story with six students completing of a course on hedge-laying which took place over last weekend. Hedge-laying is a country skill which, like stone wall building, has gone into serious decline.
Led by course tutor Pete Holmes, the students were supervised by two ducks, offering the sort of pupil:teacher ratio, at 2:1, that one would expect of this high-class institution.
While normal breaks on UoK courses offer a cup of coffee and a chocolate biscuit, this course saw an improvement which The Diary expects at all future courses. The venue was Meall mo Chridhe, a high-class local restaurant, so the participants were exceptionally well looked after.
The results from what one of the students described as 'a brilliant course' can be seen in this picture. The hedges of West Ardnamurchan will never be the same again.Many thanks to Pat Glenday for pictures and information
