Sandy,

Sorry I never saw your query last time around. I check in to Mudcat only infrequently. The answer is I have csaued a confusion royale above, by turning Pictish expert Elizabeth Sutherland's name into Isobel Sutherland, the singer we both wot of - I met her once back in the late 50s, but know nothing of her since. By the by, Elizabeth Sutherland's fictional account of the Brahan Seer is called Ravens And Black Rain. As it happens, later this month I will be up on the Brahan Seer's ground, doing ten days storytelling work in Ross and Cromarty museums and libraries.
