Angus Duncan was born in South Harris in 1888 and brought up on Scarp, where his grandfather was an infuential schoolmaster.  His lifelong interest in Scarp and all matters Celtic led him, in the 1940s and 1950s, to write of his boyhood on the island. Part of this was published at the time, but it was not until 1995 that his son, also Angus Duncan, edited the completed manuscript and added notes on a number of the chapters.
