LONELY POSTS
Two people have been appointed to what may be the loneliest teaching jobs in Britain. One is Miss Effie Cameron, who is to go to Uskevagh, Benbecula, which is one of the islands of the Hebrides, so remote that to get to her school and five pupils she has to go three 1 miles across the sea or seven miles across moors. The other teacher is Miss Murdina Nicolson, who has not even get a school in which to teach her three scholars. She is going to Ardbheag, Uig., on the island of Lewis, which has not road to it and is approached from the sea or by an eightmile walk across the moors.
