***NEW PODCAST*** In this episode of the Real Talk series we invited former professional rugby league player Iain Morrison on to talk about his career and mental health something he has never spoken about publicly before.

In this episode I talk with Iain Morrison of Penmore. Iain runs Turus Mara with his son Colin and wife Pat, and sails daily from Ulva Ferry to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles in the Spring, Summer and Autumn. We cover a lot of ground in this episode. We talk about growing up in Penmore, going to school at Mornish, where his Mum was the teacher. We talk about his parents, and a little about his grandparents. At one point Iain talks about the evictions, these of course are the clearances. References are made to Dykes & Agnes, Marky Dan and many more famous local characters. As a young man Iain was in the merchant navy, and we talk quite a bit about his travels and life at sea. At one point we talk about the mortality of illegitimate children in the past, which was a real eye opener for me and quite shocking, so just a wee heads up for you that we go into that topic at a certain moment. There are quite a few terms that I found I needed a bit of definition on, such as Butterworth Watch and Rhumb line, so do check out the website for these and other links. We met over here at my house on a very windy day, and at certain points you can hear the wind roaring away in the background. Thanks for listening! www.whatwedointhewinter.com

Conceived by filmmaker J.J. Abrams and written by novelist Doug Dorst, S has been hailed as a brand new reading experience, but does it live up to the hype? Joining host Sasha deBuyl are Nicola Balkind, freelance writer and books blogger and Iain Morrison, Enterprise Manager at Edinburgh's Fruitmarket Gallery. S is an ambitious and complex work with multiple strands fighting for the reader's attention. The core text, Ship of Theseus, is the final work of fictional author V. M. Straka, presented with footnotes from the translator. Additionally, a multi-coloured sprawl of notes in the margins reveals an unfolding relationship between two readers as they try to decipher the mysteries of the book and its author. A feast for the senses, S comes stuffed with with paraphernalia, including maps, letters, photocopied articles and a code wheel, making it a truly tactile experience. The book is certainly beautiful, but does the story meet the high standards set by the design? Is the intrigue created by S enough to keep readers hooked, or is the challenge of the book's structure too much?
