An adaptation of the true life story from childhood of the author, Findlay J McDonald, who was born and brought up on the Isle of Harris. Set in the 1930s until he left the island after the Second World War to further his education on the mainland. The highland wit shines through despite the hardships of life on a small croft, a few acres for crops, a cow and a shed to house the loom to weave the traditional Harris Tweed.
