tobermory: tobar mhoire - well of Mary - site of an early Christian
settlement on the Isle of Mull, the vibrant and picturesque town in
whose bay a galleon of the Spanish Armada sank, said to be carrying
untold treasures which have yet to be recovered. teuchter:
disparaging or contemptuous term for a Highlander, esp a Gaelic
speaker or anyone from the north. Peter Macnab was reared on Mull,
as was his father, and his grandfather before him. In this book he
provides a revealing account of life on Mull during the first
quarter of the 20th century, focusing especially on the years of
World War 1. This enthralling social history of the island is set
against Peter Macnab's early years as son of the governor of Mull
Poorhouse, one of the last in the Hebrides, and is illustrated
throughout by photographs from his exceptional collection. Peter
Macnab's 'fisherman's yarns' and other personal reminiscences are
told delightfully by a born storyteller. This latest work from the
author of a number of books about the island, including the
standard study of Mull and Iona, reveals his unparalleled knowledge
of, and deep felling for, Mull and its people. Despite his long
career with the Clydesdale Bank, first in Tobermory and later on
the mainland, Peter, now 94, remains a teuchter at heart, proud of
his island heritage.
