YOUR COMMENTS

Back in November my family and I were on vacation in Scotland, and while we were at Culloden you helped me enormously in sorting through a daunting amount of information. Thank you very much.

Over here in the States we have a National History Day, and I have chosen to do my project on Culloden – visiting that field, reading such excellent sources, and your own tremendous humanising of the battle all helped my project.

Dear Hugh

What an excellent talk you gave us last Thursday evening. I trust that after your chats with members of the audience following the lecture you realise how interesting and fascinating you had made the evening for everyone. And the good book sales proved that your “new look” at Culloden has made our members want to learn much more than just what happened in a battle!

Dear Hugh

I just want to thank you again for the wonderful days you gave me touring Scotland. I must say of all the days we spent in Scotland the ones we spent with you made the country come alive with your knowledge, your attention, and your wonderful storytelling abilities. You are the one who made the trip to Scotland memorable, and I thank you.

Brian & I would like to express our thanks for the amazing trip you took us on, to the Orkney Islands. We did so enjoy ourselves, & learnt an awful lot about the history of Mankind.

Thanks also for the personal details you put into our tour and your wonderful knowledge to cap it all off. Wonderful. Many thanks.

Dear Hugh

I’m safely home from my tour, which was a great success, and wanted to thank you again for giving the group such a wonderful talk. They loved the pieces you brought along to illustrate the talk, and hearing your account of the battle and weapons added so much to their visit the next day.

Dear Hugh

A big thank you for your presentation at our

Ceilidh on Saturday 16th April 2008.

The adults and children present enjoyed it very much. You pitched your talk at such a level that the varied age group were informed and entertained at the same time.
