One particular Wednesday was worse than usual, since baby Liam was cutting his first tooth and both Mr and Mrs McColl were in a bad mood. Mrs McColl asked Katie Morag to take the five parcels to the houses across the Bay. The one with the red label was for Grannie. Pleased to escape Katie Morag set off. It was a hot day and she stopped to paddle in a pool beneath the Redburn Bridge, suddenly she slipped on a slithery stone and fell into the water, mailbag and all. The parcels were soggy and all the addresses were smudged. Only Grannie’s parcel was still recognizable by its red label. Then because she was so frightened and ashamed, Katie Morag did a silly thing. She ran the rest of the way to the other side of the Bay and threw a parcel – any parcel, except the red-labelled one – on to the doorstep of each of the first four houses. Nobody saw her. Still sobbing, she ran on to Grannie’s. Katie Morag explained what she had done and Grannie said that she would help her to sort the whole muddle out. Grannie opened her parcel and used the new part to repair the tractor. The first house belonged to the Lady Artist. She was expecting tiny, thin brushes but the parcel Katie Morag left contained two enormous brushes. The second house was rented by the Holiday People. They had ordered fishing hooks, but their parcel had been full of garden seeds. At the third house, Mr MacMaster was standing by a big barrel of paint, holding the Lady Artist’s paint brushes. In the fourth house lived Mrs Bayview. She was cross because she couldn’t grow flowers out of fishing hooks. After much trundling back and forth, Katie Morag finally managed to collect and deliver all the right things to all the right people. Katie asked Grannie if she would like to come for tea. She half hid behind Grannie as they walked in the kitchen door, but to her surprise, everyone was smiling. Liam had cut his tooth at last and all was calm. Mrs McColl thanked Katie Morag for helping and Grannie smiled and said that she was very good at sorting things out.

Isle of Coll Facts Size of the island: It is 13 miles long by 3 miles wide. Population: Around 180 people live there. What about school? Coll has a very small Primary School, with one Head Teacher and two part-time teachers. It takes pupils from 3 years old in Pre 5, up to Primary 7 age. From August 2019, there are 8 pupils in one class. For secondary school, pupils fly to Oban on a Sunday afternoon and live in a hostel through the week. How can you get to Coll? You can get a ferry from Oban, which takes around 2 hours and 45 minutes. The ferry has a car deck at the bottom of the boat so people can take their cars on and off the island.
