A School in South Uist by Frederick Rea

These are the memoirs of Frederick Rea, a teacher from England who became headmaster of Garrynemonie School in South Uist in the 1890s. They show how he strove to meet the difficulties presented by life in one of the poorest districts in the Outer Hebrides.

Frederick Rea came from the Midlands of England to South Uist in 1889, when he caused a sensation, becoming not only the first Englishman to be appointed headmaster, but also the first Catholic to be awarded the post since the Reformation.
