Summary

Reading houses in Berneray.

The contributor gives an account of reading houses in Berneray. She believes that they were built by the West Coast Mission, and that there was at least one built before 1829. Her mother learnt to read there. The Bible was the only book used to teach. She didn't learn to write until she went to Glasgow, when she was about seventeen years old.
