Autor

Peter Macnab was born in 1903. Originally destined for a career as journalist, he switched to banking after contracting Spanish flu. On retirement he expanded writing for national and international papers into writing books, particularly on Mull, influenced by the sufferings he had learned from the last of the victims of the Clearances. His books included the standard study of Mull and Iona.
