A Shetland Childhood

Catherine Emslie, born in Burra and brought up in Scalloway, writes about the way of life she knew as a youngster in Shetland, based on her own memories and family stories. If you remember that decade, this celebration of a long-gone way of life is for you - and, if you don’t, there is much here for you to find out. Gala days, Sunday School picnics, school trips, regattas, and shopping in local shops are just a few of the many memories recalled.
