Calum MacFhearghuis

Sgeulachdan à eachdraidh-beatha Iain MhicLeòid, agus abair eachdraidh iongantach! Iasgair, seòladair, sgalag tuatha, nàbaidh, sealgair, croitear - sin ceàrdan ris an robh e aig àm no àm air choreigin, is e air an saoghal a shiubhal agus air a bheòshlaint a chosnadh ann an dusan rìoghachd, ann am badan cho cian ris na fàsaichean fuara tuath air Cruithneachd Chanada agus na fàsaichean teithe ann an Astràilia.

Calum Ferguson once again excels himself in a thoroughly researched tome on the history of St Kilda, augmented by snippets of traditional songs from the islands. St Kilda was evacuated in 1930.

A meticulously researched story of a woman's life in the Point area of the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. The transitions and changes in society are beautifully described, but in actual fact it also underlines that nothing has really changed. Very moving.
