Featured on BBC radio, this is the delightful memoir of a Beatle-mad, ex-pat Scot growing u in the North-East of England in the 1960s. The only girl in a family of boys, Janet was brought up in the 'Land of Boy' - a boarding school in Durham where her father Norman was housemaster. Every year these seven MacLeods would cram into a Ford Zephyr for the two day journey back to the ancestral home on the Isle of Skye. Beatlemania, The Girls from Uncle, suffragette great-aunts, real chiefs, Donovan-spotting, a pastry scandal and a dash of blood-thirsty clan history - Janet's tales are amusing and touching, and vividly re- create the lost world of '60s Durham and the Scottish Highlands before mass tourism.
