Northern Isles No More? invites you into the captivating story of Orkney and Shetland’s people, shaped by constant tide of emigration. Ranging from the 1700s to the 2000s, this book delves into the motives behind their journeys overseas – why they left, the means they used, and the profound issues of identity, adventure and adversity that they faced along the way. Discover the rich legacy of those who dared to dream beyond the horizon.
Marjory Harper is a Professor of History at the University of Aberdeen and a Visiting Professor at the UHI Centre for History. Her study of Scottish emigration in the nineteenth century, Adventurers and Exiles, won the Saltire Society Scottish History Book of the Year Prize in 2004. With Professor Stephen Constantine, she co-authored Migration and Empire (2010), a Companion volume in the Oxford History of the British Empire.
