The high road Many readers will recall Rosemary Gallagher, illustrious ex-hackette of this parish. During her time at Strategy she featured regularly in the Mole column, and she makes a welcome return this week.
Gallagher now works for the Scottish Parliament but is setting aside the whisky for a wee while as she trains for the Loch Ness Marathon in October.
She is raising money for Breast Cancer Care and you can support her by clicking www.justgiving.com/rosemaryrunslochness.
