Book

So often the object of national pride, the Scottish care system is revealed as falling far short of its ideals, and the author dramatically highlights the desperately sad circumstances of families forced to surrender their children to relief agencies and charities. The moving stories of the child's experiences fill this volume, whether living as a stranger in the Gelic-speaking Highlands and Islands, marooned in huge isolated orphanages, or working as a farmhand or a domestic servant in the wastness of Canada or Australia.
