Mungo Sinclair

Mungo Sinclair, at 69, still feels the rhythm of the sea in his bones with every step he takes. Born and raised in Tarinish, the storm-battered town of the Outer Hebrides, he captains a river barge laden with peat, smoked fish, and the week's mail. His uncanny ability to perceive the weight difference of envelopes has enabled him to uncover missing pensions and slip-ups, while his vivid memory of meals from bygone days molds his meticulous, artful creations at night in the creaks of the old cabin.
