    well...

    Delia Holland just stopped by Ferintosh...

    we had a nice, brief chat...

    she said that an official VisitScotland post is coming soon...

    (to this thread!)

    It will be an apology to (if I understood correctly) ALL of us...

    She apologised to me several times and quite earnestly. (for the remarks, for the letter not being sent, and more)

    I think she has been impressed and a bit overwhelmed with how quickly this went from
    a small local complaint to a very global one.

    I will not detail more yet... suffice to say- she has taken full responsiblity, is very sorry about this, and I respect her for coming to see me in person.

    so.. I will wait for their post...

    ... a side note... it was not Elaine Murray MSP that phoned her (I got that wrong- sorry about that) it was Denise Hill of VisitScotland...

    so.. thank you Denise Hill!
