God's Islanders by Catherine Czerkawska
The island of Gigha lies just off Tayinloan on the Kintyre peninsula and is the most southerly of the true Hebridean islands. This book presents the story of this part of Scotland and God's Island. Offering an exploration of the history of its people, it is also an examination of the issues, trends and challenges affecting the whole area.
