The name sounds familiar. Bob would have more chance of knowing. I very rarely leave the village. And try not to talk to people when I do  Big Grin . I’ll have a look at your link later. Going to walk up the road now to photograph the sunset.

You'd probably avoid her as she had 5 kids - and grandkids.
Enjoy the sunset. Smile

She mentions Tapselteerie a lot (meaning TopsyTurvy). They bought? an estate with a big old house and several holiday homes.
The book is a bit confusing as its jumps between her childhood, marriage at 19 and moving to the husband's family farm in Norfolk and from there to the unnamed island. She has 2 kids and another on its way when they move everything, including their favourite horse. I think they may run whalewatching boats - haven't got that far yet!.

Maybe this company? https://sealifemull.co.uk/about/ ..........as the surname Fairbairns is the same as the book author.

Apparently she lives in Tobermory. Bob doesn’t actually know her, but knows of her. The sealife tours are good. I’ve been on a couple of them
