Hello and welcome - you'll find a lot of info here and more on the Main site in Resources (more still if you make more posts).

How is your name pronounced? (I tend to say Gaelic words in my head as though they were Welsh - it doesn't work!!)

Wow! Thanks for the great hellos! yea, gealbhan is sorta like "gayl-vahn".

Yes, studying with the glasgow school on their access course at the mo for the BHS hons. degree programme. Did an apprenticeship with an American herbalist a few years ago too. It was she who got me into making herbal cosmetics! :-)

Thanks for doing the phonetic version of your name, I was mispronouncing it (says Gail Bawn - Bhán in Irish is white). 

Anyways, welcome and hello! Friend of mine lives in Glasgow too.

oh, have you ever stopped at the highland fine cheeses factory in tain? Besides their well known crowdie they do one called Hramsa which is crowdie with chopped wild garlic... Divine. They sell all their cheeses out the backdoor of the factory. Watten is about 20 miles northwest of me. I often pick alot of hawthorn berries near there. Great hedgerows that side of the county!
