Children in a boat, Eriskay

  'Eriskay Isle, Outer Hebrides, 1934.   Children of Tempest. I consider this one of my best photographs. These shy children, for me, sum up the Hebrides.'   Dr Kissling's note, 1978   This photograph of four children sitting in a boat was taken at Acarsaid Mhor. It shows some of the children from the MacMillan family (Clann Aonghais MhicIagan).
