At the beginning of May Hamish McHaggis visited the nursery at the RBS Gogar, Edinburgh.   After meeting Hamish

the children had a peek at  the Whirry Bang, which was parked outside the nursery for the morning,

The  children had a lovely time, listening while I read some of the latest Hamish mcHaggis adventures,

and then they watched as Sally drew Hamish for them

Later Sally and I went on to the ’street’ an indoor  shopping and office area and outside the Blackwell’s  Gogar bookshop we met some  of the RBS staff and signed copies of the books.

Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering, the latest book in the series,  was launched at Edinburgh castle, much to the delight of visitors -  and Hamish thought it was great fun, too!

It was very exciting to be in Edinburgh Castle to mark the launch of  the 9th book in the  Hamish McHaggis series.

McHaggises from all over the world decend on Coorie Doon for their own clan gathering in this new adventure.

2009 is Scotland’s Year of Homecoming, and  the Clan Gathering in July is one of the major events of the year.   Hamish and his Whirry Bang will be at the Clan Gathering in edinburgh and Sally and I will be there to read the story and show how to draw the characters.  See the events page for more details.

Hamish McHaggis and his Whirry Bang visited the Falkirk Wheel at Easter

Delighting fans old and new, Hamish and his Whirry Bang  were there all day.  In  a special boat families joined me to hear the latest  Hamish McHaggis story and Sally showed them how to draw Hamish. When they returned from their ride on the wheel Hamish was waiting to meet the children.
