A Mallaig boyhood
MacKenzie, John Alexander2008
Book
Abstract: "I enjoyed a wonderful childhood, and by that I mean a childhood full of wonder and pleasure with very few disappointments." John MacKenzie's recollections of people and places are sharp and vivid. He talks about his railwayman father, a man who hailed from Skye and whose definition of DIY appeared to be "Don't Involve Yourself".Recollections of schooldays, children's entertainments, Sunday school picnics, Mallaig and the Railway, early motoring, the Big Pier, herring fishing and the Wee Pier spring vividly to life. They'll add up to a splendid reconstruction of life in a West Coast fishing village between the wars.
