✦ Synopsis

This lively book is an account of Graeme Pagan's encounters and experiences in over forty years of legal practice in Oban. It is a lively mixture of the humorous and the sad, the significant and the trivial, the intentional and the serendipitous and paints an entertaining and informative picture of the life in this beautiful part of western Scotland. Graeme Pagan was involved professionally with an enormously wide range of cases in his long and varied career. But this is not a book just for those interested in the law; it is full of human interest and the peculiarities of life in the Highlands.;Once Bitten, Twice Fined; Title Page; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Foreword; Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1: Highland Exhilarations; 2: From the Beaches of Tiree to the Nightspots of Nairn; 3: 'Damn and blast you to hell. . .'; 4: 'Try a redhead next time'; 5: For Justice and Decency; 6: In Every Court in the Land; 7: The Power of the Fiscal; 8: Dad Would Have Laughed; 9: Never a Lost Cause; 10: 'We know what's best for them'; 11: 'We had a dream'; 12: Mysteries of the Air; 13: 'Death is not extinguishing the light ...
