Enjoy The first time.
We’re delighted to kick off the McStorytellers week with a wee memoir penned by Ayrshire author, poet and veteran seaman Angus Shoor Caan. It’s his inaugural trip with the merchant navy, and he’s off to New Zealand, like a lamb to the slaughter. But we now know where his lifelong love of a certain plant had its roots.
Enjoy The first time.
