It has been 70 years since John Rhodes Cobb made his ill-fated world water speed record attempt on Loch Ness on the 29th of September 1952. To mark this anniversary a short video has been put together capturing parts of the events held by the Glen Urquhart Heritage Group to honour his memory and his impact on the local community of Drumnadrochit and the surrounding area. An exhibition was held in Blairbeg Hall in Drumnadrochit on the 30th of September and the 1st of October 2022 to mark this occasion.

"MS, Mexico and Me: Aileen's Story" is a health-issue documentary showing one woman's journey from her home in the Isle of Lewis in Scotland all the way to Mexico to get stem cell treatment for her Multiple Sclerosis. It explores Aileen Hunt's life, her illness and working life and the effects that her MS has on her, her family and particularly her husband Simon. It shows their journey together to Mexico to get treatment which will hopefully halt the progression of this illness in it's current state. Raising awareness of this disease and its treatment is a fundamental goal which I wish to achieve with this documentary.
