Valerie Singleton presents her impressions of happenings yesterday and today on four islands which range from the warmth and vitality of the Mediterranean to the quiet beauty of the Highlands.
In the island of mists and mountains Valerie follows the trail of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora Macdonald's escape through the heather; and learns how Dame Flora MacLeod, 98-year-old Chieftain of the Clan MacLeod, came to be descended from the fairies.
