Flashes of Memory: A Childhood among the Clyde Lighthouses New Book

Mary Gillanders grew up around the lighthouses of the Clyde in the mid-20th century, at a time when only the constant attention of lighthouse keepers kept ships and mariners safe. In this charmingly evocative account of her childhood, she carries us to the heart of a close and loving family and to a world governed by devotion to duty, the demands of the weather and the absolute imperative of keeping the light turning.
