As a writer, GrĂ¡inne has had short stories and poems published in magazines and anthologies; while working with Grampian Region she helped write and present courses for teachers and head teachers; she has also written many educational materials including coordinating and contributing to the pack ''Fyvie Castle - Its Life and Legends''. |
