Product Description
Book Description
This is the first book to be devoted to the almost legendary Finlay MacQueen (1862-1941). He was a man of two worlds: the remote archipelago of St Kilda - a scattering of islands 45 miles west of Uist, in the Outer Hebrides - and the much gentler landscape of Fife where he spent his last few years. The book also deals with a significant chapter in Scottish social history - the last days of a 1000 year old tradition of remote island life. In 1930, thirty-six islanders, the remnants of a proud, self-reliant population, were evacuated to the mainland.

Finlay was a character - his own man! Though dour and at times cantankerous, who drew respect from those who met him.
