In 1930, the last inhabitants of the isle of St Kilda were evacuated to the mainland. Alone on the deserted island, he begins to re-imagine the conversations and stories from his years in the island port of Village Bay. Shortly afterwards, following several acts of vandalism by local fishermen, Calum MacKinnon was sent back to the island to guard against further damage.
The vivid prose is interspersed with poetry and illustrations, creating a colourful and insightful ficionalisation of life on remote St He also recalls some of the experiences of its people in exile on the mainland, showing their difficulties in adjusting to a new way of life, and a diet no longer based mainly on seabirds.
