Orkney

After moving permanently to the island he's always dreamed of, Richard Clubley here sets out to capture the experience of life on Orkney, from the history of Neolithic sites to a future in renewable energy, telling the stories of countless Orcadians along the way. Determined to travel further afield than his home on Mainland, Richard takes to the Outer Islands to meet the people who live there and tell their stories. Orkney: A Special Way of Life is a delight for any lover of Scotland's remote places, filled with rich descriptions of the islands.

RICHARD CLUBLEY has found Scottish islands endlessly fascinating since his very first visit to Arran at the age of eight. A regular contributor to Scottish Islands Explorer magazine and Orkney.com, has visited over 70 Scottish islands and published two books with Luath Press on the subject - Scotland's Islands and Orkney: A Special Place. Previously from Derbyshire, he now lives in Orkney with his wife Beverly.
