New Reply from NTS: Way Forward or Dead End?

[Kyle2 MacLea]

Dear Forum, I received the following reply today to my recent note.

[Jerry]

Kyle, She is starting to sugar coat her responses diverting the attention away from the stone marker out in the field and keeps trying to draw our attention to the inside of the visitor centre.

[Kyle2 MacLea]

Agreed, Jerry.

My response from Historic Scotland

[Canadian Livingstone]

HI Kyle, Ok maybe we could negotiate with the NTS where a special exception could be made to get the entire stone to read all 20 or so clans which were involved, not unlike the Appin Regiment stone which I have shown you in the old APpin Churchyard. We could work out with the NTS the fine details of how this could happen and put some closure to this dispute.

I have friends who used to work at the NTS. SM used to be a lawyer and has a reputation for being a bit of a tough cookie. Nevertheless, I think that they are beginning to realise that this is not going to go away - and furthermore I think that they will soon realise that their arguments have no merit and do not stand up to scrutiny. If a few more people can write in then I think that they may be sufficiently attentive to read and listen to a letter from me - especially as the Stewart Society position is the same as ours.

[Kyle2 MacLea]

I got the same reply to my message as Jerry.

[Kyle2 MacLea]

Good point to bring up in any discussion with the two clans.

[Craig McClay Wilson]

Kyle and all, A possible course of action: 1) Ask Ms MacPherson who her contacts are for the Stewarts and MacLarens. 2)

[Kyle2 MacLea]

Craig, I will follow up on that first point immediately!
