Seton Gordon on Frank Fraser Darling
“This book is a record of pioneer farming on the island of Tanera, one of the Summer Islands, lying a little way out from the mainland in western Ross-shire. Here the author and his devoted wife became the owners of an abandoned and ruinous house, and by sheer hard work, without, as the author says, any considerable bank balance to which to turn for comfort, have renovated the land with lime and basic slag, have repaired the ruined quay, have brought the garden again to life, and although their work is not yet completed, have changed the face of the land.”
