Life as a teacher is trying enough without having to contend with scare resources, limited electricity, and the worry of pupils walking a dangerous path to reach their classes each day.
Kate Riley, a former headteacher on Canna, delves deep into the history of the island’s 1878 schoolhouse, bringing to life those who preceded her.
Her personal insight adds great warm.
A lovely keepsake for those with familial ties to the Small Isles.
Canna Schooldays: A Century of Teaching and Learning on the Isle of Canna, by AK Riley, published by Acair, £16.95.
