Sir,
I’ve just read Dr Kate Pickering’s letter pinned up in the Port Charlotte Medical Centre that she is migrating to Australia, which gained independence from Britain in 1901.
It was only recently that Dr Pickering stood before the Islay community during the Scottish referendum as a guest speaker arguing for a ‘no thanks’ vote in a packed Bowmore village hall, expecting people to listen to her and, I am sure, in her position as the clinical lead, would have influenced people to vote No.
