๐Ÿ“š Lin Treadgold will be on the platform here at the Old Station from 10:00am on Saturday the 23rd of May, singing copies of her book - The Trail to Freedom.

Set during World War II, the story follows the romance of a young couple, separated by wartime conflict - and features our very own Strathpeffer!

Pop along to meet Lin and pick up your personalised copy of the book. ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ
