Welcome To Barra Island

Bored to cerebal palsy of writing about the shite that happens in the grey, boring, bloated worlds of cities and towns, we made this issue all about life in the remote Outer Hebridean island of Barra (in Scotland).

For this issue, we’d especially like to thank:

Jessie McNeil
Head of Barra Voluntary Services, she gave us the phone numbers of pretty much everybody we needed to talk to on the island.

Katy Denehy
There’s little for young people to do on the island but Katy seems to run a different kind of youth club event every night. She hooked us up with the kids and the Gaelic-speaking highland dancers.

The staff at the Castlebay hotel and bar
For whisky and black pudding

Peter Brown
For being cool even though we sunk his car into the sands on the beach. And the kids and the guy with the tractor who pulled us out.
