There are many islands off the west coast of Scotland. This story is about one of these islands. The name of the island is Lana.
Lana isn't large but it's very beautiful. It's also very quiet. There are no houses or roads or cars on Lana. But there's a castle. The castle is old, with grey stone walls.
The castle and the island belong to a Scotsman called Duncan McTavish. Duncan lives in the castle with his dog, Jock. Jock thinks the island and Duncan McTavish belong to him.
Duncan is very happy on his island. Sometimes he goes for walks with jock. Sometimes he goes swimming. Sometimes he goes fishing in his little boat. And he's writing a book. The book is called Life on a Scottish Island.
