I made friends with a local lady called Margaret who showed Mum and I how to spin wool. Even better, she has a house full of fascinating toys, such as a wooden giraffe who wears a tam-o-shanter at a jaunty angle.
I made a point of visiting Margaret and her toys for tea several times. Her house looks out directly onto the sea and across to the islands of Raasay and Skye.

I noticed her husband, Norman, speaking a slightly different sort of grown-up babble with his friends. This is called Gaellic and is spoken in some parts of Scotland.
