Person
Barbara Henderson is an Inverness-based writer and drama teacher. As an established children's author, her energetic school visits take her across the length and breadth of Scotland, and sometimes beyond. Scottish by Inclination was Barbara's first foray into adult non-fiction, followed by Our Forth Bridge: Made from Girders, a collaboration with photographer Alan McCredie. Now that her three children have flown the nest, she shares her home with her long-suffering husband and a scruffy Schnauzer called Merry.
