Aron’s father Ewan, 43, is a fisherman who spends days at a time at sea. His mother Denise, 46, helps in the island shop and heads the parent-teacher council. She is also a trained firefighter.

阿伦的父亲伊万，是一个43岁的渔民，有时要一连好几天在海上作业。他46岁的母亲丹尼斯在岛上的商店里工作，兼家长教师协会会长。她也是一个训练有素的消防员。

The island has seen the closure of its secondary school and salmon farm – prompting many families to leave. Mum Denise said: ‘I just wish we could go back ten years. There were lots of children – and the older children used to help the younger ones at school. It would be lovely to have some more families here.’

这座岛上的一所高中和一个鲑鱼养殖场已经关闭了，使得很多人家都搬走了。阿伦母亲丹尼斯说：“我只希望我们可以回到十年前。那时有很多小孩，而且年龄大一点的小孩会帮助年龄小的孩子教作业。如果有更多的人家在这就好了。”
