About this ebook
These poems were written in 1998 due to a bereavement. My Uncle Fraser, an unusual, talented and remarkable man by any standards, passed away from cancer. These poems were written in the sure and certain hope of meeting with him again in heaven, and also celebrating the Highlands that we shared and loved.
