Can visiting a mudhouse be an exciting affair? Yes, would be a confident answer from the ladies of Menmuir WRI who chose Logie Mudhouse near Montrose as their summer outing destination. There they met their host Mr. Joe Wishart who regularly opens his house to raise funds for National Trust For Scotland. Joe is very passionate about the history of the Logie Mudhouse -- a unique building, the only one of its kind remaining on the mainland of the UK, as well as local history in general. His passionate presentation kept everyone enthralled throughout the evening. And to wrap it all up a deliciuos cream tea was served that was just the icing on the cake.

Projects in the pipeline

Planning permission is being sought for the following projects in Brechin and the surrounding area:

A group of pupils from the Support for Learning Department at Brechin High School formed an enterprise company this year that saw them grow and sell plants. The company, called Cheeky Monkeys & Co, decided they wanted to raise money for charity and, as Lisa Petrie from The Guide Dog Association does mobility work with the school every week, they decided to give some of the money they raised to the Guide Dogs. Cheeky Moneys & Co visited the Guide Dog Centre in Forfar where they got the opportunity to see guide dogs being trained and were also able to help groom them. Whilst at the centre the group presented a cheque for �50 to Lisa. They are, from left, back - June Bell (teacher), Shelby Smith, Jordan-Lee Fergusson and Christine Alexander (SFLA): front - Lisa Petrie (Guide Dog Association), Alicia Mackenzie, Bethany Pannell and Kayleigh Carr.
