The BBC has published the latest news on the ongoing question of the future of Bouchardon's bust of Sir John Gordon. The Highland Council, who didn't know they had the sculpture until it was rediscovered in 1998, have applied for an export permit for it to leave the country so that £2.5m may be sought for the Invergordon Common Good Fund. More news when it appears.
