Spirit: Spotlight

This week marks 92nd anniversary of the evacuation of the last inhabitants of St. Kilda. Join us for this week's Spirit: Spotlight where we take a closer look at the history of these iconic islands...

This week, inspired by the story ‘John Login’, submitted by Rosemary Anderson, join us as we take a moment to explore the story of fellow Orcadian STEM pioneer – ‘Orkneyman’ Isobel Gunn. 

This week, inspired by the story ‘Isabella MacTavish’, join us as we take a look at the hidden history behind the iconic late 18th century wedding dress of Isabella MacTavish Fraser.

Since we opened our call for stories back in late 2020, we have had the privilege to learn what the Highlands and Islands mean to each one of our submitters. For our community takeover today, we were delighted to speak to story submitter, solo traveller and author Marg Greenwood who has over the past twenty years been a frequent visitor to the Highlands and Islands...

Good morning and a happy Friday from all of us at the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands team who are freshly back at the office after a great day out at the return of the Black Isle Show yesterday....
