WELCOME to the June issue of West Coast Review. As the summer gets into full swing, Argyll’s visitor attractions play their part in supporting the area as a destination for visitors from around the world. Some attractions are better known than others, however. Among those lesser known gems are the upcoming Feis Cothlam wool festival and the Slate Islands Heritage Museum on Seil. We preview both attractions to showcase the variety for visitors to the Lorn area. This month we also introduce The Whisky Club, a new feature in association with Oban Whisky and Fine Wines. Every month, a group of whisky enthusiasts with varying degrees of expertise and expectation give their opinion on a range of malts from the Oban shop’s collection. We also meet Ian Milarvie, the fi rst UK certifi ed Animal Flow coach. Never heard of Animal Flow? Read on... If you have a story to tell, or would like
to make a contribution to West Coast Review, we look forward to hearing from you. Simply contact our offi ce by phone, email, fax or post.
