Letters to 'Scottish Herald'

I have written a couple letters to reporters of the Scottish Herald, Loxley (Highland Hall) and Mordrag (Clan Affairs (as I like to call it)). They are both similar to the following:

I write brief message to you as Highlands Hall reporter.

In recent days there has been some strange activity on a hillside near Highlands Hall. It may or may not have reached your ears, but kilted and caped figures have been seen coming and going off the main track by way of a lesser path which leads off through the nearby trees.

Occassionally also, there is the sound of bagpipes coming from that general direction.

If one is curious, one might go and have a look. If one does, you'll come across a strange site. An old and weatherbeaten hut nestled into the trees, people gathered talking inside. A set of bagpipes rests next to the door.

If you ventured into this highlands-like clearing, you'd be greeted by a tall and weedy figure emerging from the hut. He'd pick up his pipes and play you a tune.

Seems like the MacTavishes, keen as ever, have set themselves up so that they can get good seats for the coming Gathering of the Clans!
