When we leant we had lost Ossian, the last thing on our minds was to have any sort of public event. At that time it all felt intensely personal. Over the days that have passed, we have been swept up by an enormous wave of support from friends and colleagues. We have also felt Ossian's presence strongly with us. We have now decided that it feels right to hold a sharing of what his little life has meant to us and our wider community. Ossian means 'little deer', as reflected in the artwork on this page by Gehan, Tawny, Iona and Oran Macleod. We have been very touched by some of the mythology surrounding his name and we are delighted that we will be joined in this celebration by the bard, Fionn Tulach, who will deepen our experience in story and song. If you are coming, please try and ensure you'll be there on time so that the atmosphere that Fionn will help to create can be well "gathered".

If you are feeling moved to bake or some nibles to share at the end, please do so but please let us know so that we can co-ordinate things a little bit.
