This episode is a conversation with Anne Scott about Java and Craignure from the late 1940's and into the 1950's. Anne grew up in Falkirk, lived in Edinburgh for many years and now resides in Largs. Alexander Maclachlan, Anne's Grandfather, was the head gardener at Java Lodge. Anne offers up insights into the communities around Craignure in the mid part of the last century and the arrival of the folk from Soay to Java. Anne is an academic, who is still teaching to this day, she’s been a broadcaster working with Radio Scotland, featuring on the wonderful Jimmy MacGregor’s programmes and she’s also an author. Her book, 18 Bookshops is an absolute delight. If, like me, you’re a bit of a bibliophile, then this is the book you’ve been waiting for! Many listeners will also know the work of Anne’s son, Mike Scott of the Waterboys, whose music has brought a lot of joy to millions of listeners.
