I have never set foot on Easdale, but in 1974 first photographed Seil's slate spit beach, and the Bride over the Atlantic - used in one the Highlands & Islands sponsored books of the mid-1970s, despite my dark and exaggerated printing style at the time. I was one of the first wave of photographers to own and work with extreme wide-angle lenses on 35mm, so my pictures were very different. I'm more a singer than a instrumentalist but spend most of my time playing along with local sessions. That's just how it is. We have a view to leaving Kelso at some time - we have a very large property here which cost surprisingly little, but as we get into our 50s instead of our 30s (which applied 12 years ago when we came here) we hardly need 5000 square feet of gradually deteriorating Regency splendour. Right now we are trying to work out how best to create two letting units for tourists and just 'live in the middle bit'. Easdale would have considerable attractions and I'm passing printouts to my wife. We could bring our digital recording studio!
