In Focus
Millport is a small seaside
resort and the only significant settlement on the island of Great Cumbrae,
just off the Ayrshire coast. It wraps around the attractive south-facing
Millport Bay with beautiful views that include the mountains of Arran,
the island of Little Cumbrae, the Eileans, Ailsa Craig, and the hills
of Ayrshire. If you look for them the views also include the Hunterston
power station and coal terminal on the mainland, but nothing's ever
perfect. ( More

Friend or Foe? by Ken Lussey (14 July 2025).
A fast-paced thriller set largely in south-west Scotland during World War Two. It’s late June 1943. Bob and Monique Sutherland’s
journey home from Malta is interrupted in London to hear Soviet claims of a German spy. Back in Scotland, they travel with a Military
Intelligence 11 team to Galloway to track down a ghost who may already have uncovered vital military secrets. When two Soviet agents
arrive in Galloway to help, Bob and Monique need to decide if the spy exists, or whether he is a Soviet invention intended to lure
MI11 into danger.
