When friends have to travel and move great distances, treasured belonging have to relocate and I am happy to say that Dr Sheila Duncan  (actress and academic) gifted me some such treasures before she departed for Australia last month. These three prints were made as part of a children's competition for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival's posters in the 1980's by children from Drummond High School Inverness. Today is the start of the madness of Edinburgh Fringe, to anyone visiting or performing have a great time.
