Summary
The Rev. Alex MacKenzie talks about his schooldays in Struan in Skye. Children had to carry peats to school at one time. The boys played shinty. They made their own sticks and balls. There is some discussion about picking teams. Other subjects discussed include the hardiness of the children, the Lowland teachers, local pupil teachers aged 17-18, inspections, and heather burning by pupils.
