Elizabeth Margaret Guthrie Mackay, or âBabeâ as she was better known, was born at the Old Post Office, Skerray on November 15, 1934.
The oldest of her five siblings had been born in the warmer climes of South Africa where her father, a baker with Robert Garden and Sons at their premises near Skerray Pier, had emigrated in a fit of pique when his request for a rise of a penny an hour had been denied.
