Description:
Brought up in Oban, on the west Scottish coast, the author recalls memories of a highland childhood in the last years of a society destroyed by World War I. He writes warmly of a cherished, but solitary upbringing, taking the reader back to days of youthful innocence. He captures the Argyllshire countryside and his magical moments of childhood -- landing his first salmon, his first "golden dram, " and the smell of favorite Highland dishes. His love of his country and his pride in the people and the language that surrounded him radiate from every page.
