In this episode I talk with Davie Kirkpatrick of Iona. Davie has lived in Iona for the vast majority of his life. Our conversation covers lots of ground. We talk about growing up on the island, going away for school, various characters and community members of the past and present. We talk briefly about the politics of passenger ferries, the start of commercial crabbing. We also talk about a remarkable family called the MacCormicks, who achieved remarkable things.
