Welcome to episode 12 of the Seagrove Sessions. An episode not only full of memories but thoughts on life. What a long life it is too. Mary was born on the Isle of lewis in 1935. She moved to Edinburgh in 1955. We hear about being brought on the island. Collecting the peat, life in a Black House. How independent people had to so far from the main land and her Grannies's firm belief in education. What comes over is Mary's positive view on life. All delivered in that wonderful, soft Hebridian accent.
