This story is written with a backdrop of Scotland and Iran prior to the downfall of the Shah, from 1969 to 1976

The steps of life and the journey through it took Mhairi and Bruce, a young Scottish couple from Dundee, a town in Scotland, to the Persian Gulf in the 1960s.The first five years were traumatic for them but they overcame the personal difficulties. They lost their two daughters to an incurable illness; however, we find them in 1969 looking forward to a bright future. Of course the lives of others come into their journeys, which take them from Scotland, to Abadan, then to Kharg Island, Iran, situated in the Persian Gulf with a few more journeys in between. The fun, sorrows, joys, entertainment, private and public lives that went on within a small group of expatriates, thrown together by necessity. It is based on a way of life that has now gone for good.
