The Flight of the Cormorants by Mary Withall
It is 1990. The Argyll villages of Seileachan and Eisdalsa are threatened with a takeover by developers.

Temporary residents Dr Alan Beaton and the Australian Jack McDougal discover that their pasts are closely linked with the islands and each other. While each young man focuses his attentions on the enigmatic Flora Douglas, she disregards their advances, concentrating all her energies on the fight against the developers...
