ALMOST 70 Rotarians and guests enjoyed Lochaber Rotary Club’s 67th Charter Night dinner at the Alexandra Hotel, Fort William, on Saturday December 2.
Ably chaired by club president Donald McCorkindale, the guest speaker was the modest yet multi-skilled Rosie Curtis who entertained everyone with an absorbing and wide ranging talk. Rosie, a Kilchoan native, is Scotland’s first female fish farm manager, based at a new sea farm at MacLean’s Nose near the mouth of Loch Sunart. In 2015 she was awarded ‘farm manager of the year’ at the annual Scottish Marine Aquaculture Awards.
