FORGOTTEN TUTOR
LET IT SNOW
Snow fell in the
Highlands on July 17,
just as we were going to
press. Our photographs
show just how beautiful
the landscape looks
covered in white.
FINE LINES
The straight lines of
modernist architecture
require precision
building work, but Tony
and Margaret, the
owners of Old Shed
Hill, weren’t about to
cut corners.
RAW TALENT
When graphic designer
Alison Fraser started
experimenting with
ceramics and textile art,
her pieces quickly
found an audience.
Now living in Bowral,
Alison has added
cyanotypes to the mix
and will feature them in
her first solo exhibition.
A GARDEN
MASTERPIECE
Prittlewell is an
outstanding Highlands
garden boasting many
elements, including
Japanese and gravel
gardens, parkland and
woodland, wisteria and
rose walks.

TUTOR
Twenty years ago, Janet
Epps discovered her
great-great-uncle John
Epps had been a tutor to
