Where did my journey to publication start? I offered an insight into my ‘time travel’ journey through Ayr in 1898, as well as my journey to the publication of OCULEUS: The Musings Of a Liberal Victorian in Ayr.

His background, his life, his words, and the impact they had on the lives of the people in Ayr through the weekly columns he wrote in THE AYRSHIRE POST from 1892 onwards.

One year on from my book launch, where has it led me? The place of coincidence and synchronicity in this journey.

Plans for continuing my adventure with my great grandfather might just be taking shape. Watch this space.

Many thanks to Stair Community Association for inviting me to speak, and to the audience for their warm and enthusiastic reception.

It was a privilege and honour.
