TWO LONELY POSITIONS
TEACHING IN HEBRIDES Two women in the Hebrides have the loneliest teaching posts in Britain. One is Miss Uollv Smith, who has recently taken up a post at Ardveg in Lewis, 18 miles across trackless moors from the nearest road and five miles by sea from the nearest village. Her mi nils are ft shepherd's family. The Ether is Miss M. 13. Mac Donald, of Loehmaddy, who teaches five pupils on the island of Heisker. This island is often cut off from the rest of the Hebrides for months by storms, and radio-telephone from Monarch lighthouse is the only means of communication.
