This episode is a conversation with Alastair McIsaac Maclean of Tobermory.
Alastair lives at the back of Tobermory main street in a building which used to be a bakery, where he worked as a young boy.
Our chat we cover his early years in Tobermory and Bridge of Weir, memories of Aros House and the delights of the walled garden, life on the pier in Oban, being wrecked in the Sound of Islay, bands and comedians of the past who paid a visit to Tob, his national service, the construction of Craignure pier, his work on fishing boats and much, much more.
It was a great pleasure to chat to Alastair and hear his softly spoken words. He paints a picture of the community and the world around him with great care. I hope we can talk again soon about other topics.
Thank you for listening!
