FROM firework flashes to the Big Bang when the universe began, from Cairngorm granite to the orange berries of sea buckthorn - the first Highland Science Festival is about to get off the ground.
The festival will also feature medical research including new insights on the causes of diabetes. World Diabetes Day on 14th November will also be marked by a look at the successes of people faced by challenges such as illness.
