Author Signs In At Loch Ness Exhibition Centre

Award-winning television writer and producer Geoff Holder will be signing copies of his recently published book "The Guide to Mysterious Loch Ness and the Inverness Area" at the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre, Drumnadrochit, on Friday 20 June at 1 pm.

The book is a guide to everything supernatural, paranormal, folkloric, eccentric and, above all, mysterious that has occurred by the dark waters of Loch Ness and in the area surrounding Inverness.

With sections on Aleister Crowley, big cats, second sight, the exorcism of the Loch, folk magic, fairies, UFOs, Celtic saints, witches and ghosts - and, of course the strange history of the Loch's most famous resident - this is a fascinating introduction to the heritage of this part of Scotland.

Geoff Holder's previous titles include "The Guide to Mysterious Perthshire" and "The Guide to Mysterious Iona".
