Perched above Lake Malawi is Livingstonia, a village of mud huts, limited electricity, and a huge Victorian church. The stone used to build the church was brought by ship from Scotland in the early 20th century. It probably seemed like a good idea at the time. It  dominates a village where everyone walks barefoot. “Of course we are proud” says a baker. “No other village has a building made from the best Scottish stone!” An emaciated woman shouts for my attention. She runs after me waving a 1000 kwacha note (approx. $2.50) and stuffs it into my hand on the empty street. It had fallen from my pocket.
