A childs-eye view of life on the Isle of Jura in the 1920s.
Extract
'Many of you must be familiar, if only from pictures, with the Black Houses of our Highland ancestors, thatched and often windowless, and with very basic interiors; and with their successors, the White Houses, still thatched but with windows and much better-planned interiors. But perhaps there are some of you who haven't had the luck, indeed the honour, of being asked to 'come away in' to those little thatched, whitewashed houses. In Jura in the 1920s I had a child's freedom to run in and out and eat jeely-pieces, carvies and Imperials in many such houses, so I take the liberty to bid you cme away in to at least one or two of them'.
