Work Continues on Catering Pod
Artist Jon Macleod has recently been tasked with giving An Lanntair’s catering pod a much-needed makeover! With the sun shining down on us this week, Jon has been making good use of the good weather.
With the pod’s decorative theme being the ocean, Jon is painting a large Octopus for the front side of the pod (as can be see in the image above), with all sides of the pod to be given their own unique ocean-themed design.

Creative Writing Workshops for Young Adults
Fri 20 Oct, 2pm-3pm
Free, but booking essential
Are you aged 16-25 and interested in writing?
Come along and learn essential skills to help you become a better creative writer. Whether you are an aspiring novelist, screenwriter, poet, or playwright, Kevin MacNeil (who is a novelist, screenwriter, poet, and playwright) will demystify things for you. He’ll show you that being a writer simply involves putting some basic techniques into practice while adding your own spin on things.
Whether you are a budding comic book writer who lacks confidence or a novelist-to-be who isn’t quite sure how to go about things, this workshop will empower and equip you. And you will have time to ask any questions about being a writer, whether it’s how to structure a movie, how to find an agent, or just about anything else. This will be a friendly, easy-going workshop with a professional writer who was born and raised in Lewis.
