Early sign of spring?

Hugh McBean, the greenkeeper at Nairn bowling club was down at the green today, he found this peacock butterfly in the middle of the green. "The butterfly was quite lively," Hugh told the Gurn, "I Don't think I've ever seen any this early in the year."

Hughie's excellent video promoting Nairn gets noticed by the national newspaper. When the video appeared in the Gurn 37 gurnites thought it 'interesting' and 17 felt inspired to make a comment praising Hughie's efforts.

Hugh McBean's walking guide to Nairn

Thanks to Doc Grigor for this link. Hughie needs no intro for Gurnites but if you're just visiting the Gurn or thinking of coming to Nairn on holiday perhaps you'd like to know a little more about our favourite postie, this P&J article will give you an idea of what a great guy he is. Hugh has made a first class video that sings just a few of Nairn's praises.

Anyway here's Hugh's video - enjoy the walk and your holiday in Nairn :-)
