This episode is a conversation with Gail Struthers.
Gail hails from the Hillfoots, the villages and towns around the foot of the Ochil Hills, near Stirling.
She’s lived on Mull for many years now and has worked principally in catering in hotels and cafes in the North of the Island. She currently works at Bowman Court and our local hospital in Craignure.
Our conversation takes us through Gail’s childhood, her working life and travels away from the island, her life here on Mull, including her time running the Glengorm Café, and then into her passion for reading.
Thanks for listening!
