St Kilda Diaries

This Love Scotland podcast takes us back to life on remote St Kilda in the early 1900s. Using the handwritten diaries of Alice MacLachlan, a schoolteacher who lived on the islands from August 1906 to May 1909, we get a really personal glimpse into the challenges and extraordinary experiences of island life.

You’ll hear extracts from Alice’s diaries brought to life, accompanied by original music inspired by the islands.
