John Lennon Northern Lights Festival Announced
"John was more than a musician - he loved painting, drawing and writing in Durness and that is also well reflected in the festival's arts. Few places meant more to John than Durness. It was often when he was at his happiest."
The residents of Durness also hugely welcomed the festival - which has been financed by HIE Caithness and Sutherland - and hoped it would become an annual event.
"The Durness community will make every effort to give a real highland welcome to the many visitors that are expected, and will offer whatever help and assistance is required to make the event a roaring success and hope that it will become the first of many," said Mary Mackay, chairperson of Durness Community Council
The only permanent memorial to John Lennon in Scotland is in Durness in the form of a memorial garden - and the village also has a bookshop which has just published a novel based on John's links to the area. Its author, the politician Michael Russell is also appearing at the festival.
