“The dedication ceremony was held in a marquee that had been erected in the grounds of the retreat centre, on the banks of Loch Voil, and was attended by a hundred or more people … Kovida and I stayed at a quiet guest house two miles up the road, at the head of the loch, coming down to Dhanakosa each day to take part in the celebrations.”
