Thanks to one of the services offered by Google I was able to upload a word doc and turn it into a webpage 'just like that'. It isn't perfect but it is easy enough to read and as of yet I can't understand why the pics won't load. Anyway the purpose of this document is to show how much Gaelic has contributed to the history of Nairn and how much it is still very much a living part of the town's heritage. Please follow the link if you have a few moments .

See the Eco-cludgie! - Nairn Allotments Open Day: Sunday 12th August
Nairn Allotments Society
Comann nan lotaichean Inbhir Narann
Open Day Sunday Aug 12th 2007 1030 to 1630
Latha fosgailte Didòmhnaich Lùnastal 12mh 1030 gu 1630
There will be guided tours of the allotments and maybe event the chance to use the eco-cludgie. (as seen on TV – the Beechgrove Garden programme).
The allotment society have permission from the Highland Council to use the Sandown field next to the plot for parking and stalls. It is a big area and if you have an interest group or a business that is concerned with ecological issues you will be very welcome. Some stalls will be available or maybe you have your own anyway. All the society wants is a donation or a share of your profits – whatever you feel it is worth. This is about awareness of food and ecological issues and yes, mainly to promote allotments – there aren’t enough of them in the inner Moray Firth area or anywhere else – when it no longer is so easy or cheap to fly in food out of season from all over the world there will be plenty of need for more allotments!
Why not come along and do something interesting, something weird or just something wonderful. Bring your merchandise, your music, your friends, your dreams, your wallets, your veggies, your plants and your sandwiches.
Let’s get the message across – all welcome – Bidh fàilte agus furan air a h-uile duine.

Sandcastles
Part of the fun of a late afternoon stroll on the beach is to check out the day's sandcastles. Tommorow they will be gone but memories have been made too.Good weather for runner beans
Temperature goes up again, bursts of sunshine but rain promised for tomorrow.

Wetfest
Bad luck for the habourfesters, it just rained and then rained a bit more. A heavy police presence ensured that there was no trouble between Inverness canoeists and the breadcrumb brigade.Saturday, June 02, 2007
Logging on at Firhall
The biggest log for some years has arrived at Firhall, the spate shifted it this far but it wasn't enough to get it past the rocks under the Firhall footbridge. Regulars around the river are wondering how long it will last there before it gets another shift. Could be next week or a few years down the line, anyway it will be good fun for the bairns when the river goes down a bit further. Amazing thing is - it seems to have a face!

Spate enables counter revolution
The rain has washed away all the seagull shite and the town looks a lot cleaner as everyone comes back to life and emerges into the Thursday morning sunshine. The spate in the river had an unforeseen consequence for the young swans that had taken over the harbour. The older pair had been moping around between the A96 bridge and the Jubilee. Obviously they couldn’t stay in that area with the spate so they went downstream and ousted the upstarts. Seems the older male has a few marks from another battle but he is back in control of the harbour.
A town centre Herring Gull enjoys the Wednesday evening sky clearing to reveal a town with a lot less white streaks per square inch - for the moment, for the moment. Only two days to go to the Habourfest now, an uncontrollable wave of excitement mounts throughout Nairnshire.
