“... being so very welcomed on my first visit to Coll in the late '50s. I was a student minister of the Free Church, on furlough from South Africa. I deputised all over the Highlands and Islands at that time.

I got the impression Coll was a very nice place to be. Though I found it quite an experience getting from the big rolling boat into the equally rolling little ferry boat. I'll not forget that!

And I didn't forget Coll. I came back. It must have been the island calling, or was it the person to whom I am now married?"
