Description

Angus MacLellan's life story is one of resilience and determination. Born in 1869 into a poverty-stricken community on South Uist, he spent his childhood and youth with his family before travelling to the mainland to find work. His experiences took him from the militia to farm labour, but ultimately led him back to his roots on South Uist. In 1900, MacLellan returned home to assist his parents, eventually succeeding them on their croft. This autobiography, written in an unusual yet captivating prose style, offers a unique glimpse into the life of this remarkable individual. Transcribed and translated from Gaelic by John Lorne Campbell, it is a testament to the power of oral tradition. With 224 pages, this paperback edition provides a comprehensive account of MacLellan's life, spanning his childhood, travels, and eventual return to South Uist.
