Western Isles Calendar 1999

We publish calendars annually of the following areas: Orkney, Shetland, Western Isles and Caithness. The calendars are the same design as for the last two years, with a larger size which allows bigger pictures and a more useful calendar area, but with only minimal increase in price and weight. The pictures are of course all new.  As usual the calendars are widely available in each area, but may be ordered direct, either via e-mail charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk, telephone or fax. Retail price is £4.50 per calendar plus UK postage and packing of 50p. Overseas post and packaging extra at cost. Payment by Visa, Mastercard or American Express is preferred.
