The MacTaggart children - Angus, Giles and Maggie - arrive on Scotland’s island of Skerra to stay in Kennevara, their Aunt Catriona’s seaside guesthouse. They find her distressed by her failing bed-and-breakfast business. Her bank is threatening to repossess Kennevara unless she pays the next installment on her loan.A medical emergency whisks her away to the mainland, leaving the children to fend for themselves. When the owner of Skerra’s big hotel telephones to request Kennevara’s help with a last-minute overflow of arrivals, Angus accepts the lucrative deal ‘on behalf of his aunt’. A hilarious scramble of inspired improvisation begins as the MacTaggarts attempt to cater to the demands and complaints of their eccentric guests. Hard-up local crofters, posh summer folk and a menacing crook fill out the cast of characters in this rollicking suspense-filled adventure. Another MacTaggart page-turner to keep you laughing and on the edge of your seat!
