FORT WILLIAM to MALLAIG Experience the Breathtaking Beauty of the Scottish Western Highlands Aboard the World-Famous Jacobite Steam Train and Its Vintage Carriages
West Coast Railways Presents FAMOUS STEAM TRAIN 2021 Season FORT WILLIAM TO MALLAIG Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Western Highlands aboard the World-famous Jacobite Steam Train and its vintage carriages. “The World’s Greatest Railway Journey” THE JOURNEY Fort William to Mallaig Described as the greatest railway journey in the world, this 84 mile round trip takes you past a list of impressive extremes. Starting at the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis, it visits Britain’s most westerly mainland railway station, Arisaig; passes close by the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar and the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, finally arriving next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis! The Train stops en route to Mallaig at the village of Glenfinnan. Beyond Glenfinnan are the beautiful villages of Lochailort, Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. You may alight at Arisaig by request to the guard. From here, on a clear summer’s day, you can see the “Small Isles” of Rum, Eigg, Muck, Canna and the southern tip of Skye. The train continues on from here passing Morar and the silvery beaches used in the films “Highlander” and “Local Hero”. Come and join us and find out why! THE ROAD TO THE ISLES Following Harry Potter.... West Coast Railways, operators of ‘The Jacobite,’ provided the steam engine and carriages for the ‘Hogwarts Express’ as seen in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ and others in this wonderful series of films. Some of the carriages of ‘The Jacobite’ are similar to those used in the ‘Harry Potter’ films. -
One Story, One Reader and Two Decades of Ongoing Appeal
Narrative Attraction: One Story, One Reader and Two Decades of Ongoing Appeal Warren Maynes and Margaret Mackey University of Alberta His wellbeing appears to need spectral entities to oppose it, figures of his own invention whom he can defeat. McEwan, Saturday, 2005, 78 Margaret: Imaginative commitment is an active energizer of our mental economy, but our understanding of how that process works is amorphous and cloudy. What is it that “captures” one person’s imagination while leaving another cold? What matrix of memories, desires, terrors and needs finds expression in a particular story or even in a particular turning point of a story, so that this story plays a significant role in the shaping of someone’s ways of responding to the world? Language and Literacy 1 Volume 8 Number 2 2007 Language and Literacy This article will explore the ramifications of these questions through the lens of one young man’s ongoing response to a single story, told through multiplying media. The story is Highlander, which first appeared as a movie in 1986 and has been retold and expanded through a variety of vehicles: novelizations, sequel movies, a lengthy television series, a card game, and so forth. The fan is Warren Maynes, a recent graduate of the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta, who made a class presentation on the subject of Highlander and its ongoing hold on his own imagination for nearly twenty years. I was the instructor of that class and I was intrigued at his insider perspective on questions of narrative fascination and connection that are often completely opaque to outsiders. -

5 Day Highlands, Isle of Skye and Inverness Tour
5 day Highlands, Isle of Skye and Inverness Tour Day 1 ➢ Our first stop is the mighty Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument. This commanding position at the foot of the Highland boundary has been fought over for thousands of years as a strategic point to control the entire country. ➢ We continue north/west into the Stirling Castle mountain wilderness to visit Etive Mor, an extinct super volcano known locally as “the Shepard of Glencoe”. Here we turn off the beaten path into Glen Etive for spectacular scenery and hopefully spot Red Deer in their native habitat. ➢ Next stop is Scotland’s most desired spot, Glencoe. Towering mountains on all sides and a bloody history make this an unforgettable experience to all who visit Glencoe ➢ Our final port of call is the town of Fort William at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, where we stop for the evening. (Fort William will be our overnight stop). Day 2 ➢ We start the day with a visit to Thomas Telford’s engineering masterpiece, Neptune’s staircase. Constructed 200 years ago it’s part of the Caledonian Canal system. This series of 8 locks lifts boats some 70 ft from the sea level to Loch Lochy above. ➢ We then head west to Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel for one of Scotland’s finest views. Here we will see the Glenfinnan and Loch Sheil Glenfinnan viaduct which featured in Harry Potter and the Jacobite memorial. ➢ We continue along the spectacular road to the Isles and catch a ferry for the short journey from Mallaig to the Isle of Skye. -

Peace Circle Embraces Differences Among
“Reporting the news, one story at a time.” Highlander Charter School Warren, RI May/June 2015 Expect Changes for 2015-2016 School Year BY TATIANA LOPEZ As many of you have heard we have 40 new students--all 7th graders--joining us in the Fall. Other faces will be familiar, includ- ing the return of Mr. John Wolf as a ⅞ ELA teacher and Ms. Blanco-Busam who’ll help Ms. Grant as an acting assistant prin- cipal. HCS News sat down with Ms. Grant to get the scoop on why so many 7th graders and not other grades? Q. Why are you adding a new set of kids for 7th grade? When we were looking at other spaces, we only had room for 40 children at each grade level. Since this building is bigger, we added the extra students in order to optimize the building space. Therefore, having the accessibility of wide open fields, aquatic terrains, gym and other amenities conducive for learning and inspiration. Q. Are there any other grades that are getting a new set of kids? Unfortunately, not at the middle/high school level because Highlander tends to accumulate children at a slower pace in upper school. We will keep 40 children in other grades next year and then each year we will add another 20 to 7th grade that way we only have 20 new students at once. We are also adding 12 new Pre-K openings (at the Providence campus). Q. How will this addition benefit Highlander? It will allow us as a community to have more programs in State Police Officer Marc Remington invites 9th grader Angel Vidal to share his social media knowledge. -

Highlander: the Series Thesaurus the Narrative
Heather Turner IST 638 October 22, 2006 Detailed Thesaurus Highlander: The Series Thesaurus The Narrative I. Scope The goal of this project is to create a thesaurus (and eventually an index) of the first season of the television show Highlander: The Series. Each episode of the show is filled with information that desperately needs an organizational tool. Although many websites exist on the Internet their only goals are episode guides. Unfortunately the series has been long cancelled; however, the release of a new Highlander film in the next year will ignite a renewed interest in the show (cancelled in early 1990s). Every year fans get together in Highlander conferences to share their love of the show. Therefore a index would be helpful for fanfiction and in preparation of conferences. The main focus of the series are relationships between immortals, themes/emotions of characters (morals and emotions), flashbacks (histories of immortals), The Gathering (fights between immortals), and weapons (swords and axes). As a result the thesaurus will include themes and subjects unique to the show of Highlander: The Series season one. II. Term Harvesting Highlander: The Series relied heavily on its guest stars and historical flashbacks. During the late eighties and early nineties Highlander: The Series was a popular TV show. In reruns, I enjoyed the series and watched nearly every episode so I was familiar with the most popular terms from the show such as quickening and the gathering. However, I had not seen an episode since I stopped showing reruns on USA in the mid-nineties. I initially watched around eight episodes to refamilarize myself with the series. -

Projecting the Nation: Constructions of Scotland in Film Since 1979
Projecting the Nation: Constructions of Scotland in Film Since 1979 Emily Torricelli PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television January 2016 Abstract This thesis examines questions of the continued significance of national cinemas and identities, focussing on the case of Scottish cinema. As a small, devolved nation with relative autonomy from the United Kingdom, Scotland presents an interesting case for how films are labelled with a national identity, as Scottish films can also often be understood in a British, European, and even global context. Rather than attempting to construct a working model of Scottish cinema based on representation or production context, I ask how films have been constructed as Scottish. I approach the concepts of Scotland and Scottish film as sets of meanings that are subject to change over time and in different contexts. This facilitates a perspective which asks in what ways Scotland and Scottishness is constructed in film. I examine how multiple identities are balanced in the filmic construction of Scotland first by considering how Scottish films—both those made in and which are about Scotland—from the early 1980s to the present construct Scottish identities. I will consider the way these films explored ‘traditional’ Scottish identities in the 1980s, Scottish masculinity in the 1990s, and Scottish identities based on ethnicity and gender in the 2000s and 2010s. Second, I look at how these films are received as Scottish by examining reviews and other press materials to determine how the Scottishness
