Around the Peat Fire by Calum Smith
Calum Smith's memoirs are a celebration of a Gaelic culture and society in the throes of great change. His boyhood took place in and around Stornoway: whilst his childhood was a happy one, it was one of very considerable poverty. His story gives a unique insight into life on Lewis through the First World War and to the opening of the Second.
Calum Smith wrote a regular column in the Stornoway Gazette, served on the Stornoway Town Council as Dean of Guild and Senior Baillie and was on the Stornoway Trust, administrating the Stornoway Estate. He was also chairman of the Western Isles Labour party.
