'Hundreds of inquiries' after teacher appeal

PM

Available for over a year

The island of Muck in Scotland's Inner Hebrides has a population of 30, no local shop and no post office. Something else it lacked until recently was a permanent teacher for its school. In August, the islanders launched a social media appeal to find a new teacher and received hundreds of inquiries from around the world. Now the new teacher Laura Marriner has moved to Muck to start work and and she tells reporter Lorna Gordon "I was inspired by the idea of something completely different".
