\"\"Angus MacPhail from Clachan in North Uist is another well-known member of the community who kindly agreed to contribute to the St\u00f2ras Be\u00f2 nan G\u00e0idheal<\/a> project, often seen on stage in local drama productions, as well as working hard behind the scenes. Here, he talks to Archie Campbell.<\/p>\n

In the first part of the conversation he reveals his Boreray ancestry, and talks about his schooling in both North and South Uist before finishing in Inverness, with impressions of hostel life and being regarded as a \u201cteuchter\u201d in the town. Studying Civil Engineering in Aberdeen, he shared lodgings with other islanders, and was involved in inter-university competitions in shinty and through the pipe-band. Work took him to Inverawe first, followed by London (where he met his Irish wife), and then back to Scotland. Always keeping in touch with fellow Gaels, when they moved to Loch Broom they got involved with An Comunn G\u00e0idhealach, and he also volunteered with the Mountain Rescue team.<\/p>\n
