Acha School, Isle of Coll, circa 1924

An old Coll Magazine article written by Angus Kennedy notes

“Annual Dinner, with guest of honour Robert Sturgeon, proprietor of Tigh na Mara Guest House, accompanied by his wife, Ruth. The ‘full house’ gathering was well entertained by Robert’s anecdotal speech which ranged from schooldays in Coll to Africa and other exotic lands and his eventual return to his native island”.

Ruth and Robert Sturgeon are joined by Neil and Nancy MacFadyen in the photo.
