Islands - George Mackay Brown, & St. Kilda
​
Islands have their own special geographies.
One of the most evocative words in geography is archipelago.
​
Some islands are shaped by their histories.
Some are connected to particular people.
​
George Mackay Brown was synonymous with Orkney.
​
St. Kilda
This is a place that has been calling to me for many years.
I hope to get there one day, and walk the street(s) of Hirta.
​
A recent Geraldine McCaughrean book is based in the archipelago.

Dry spaces
​
Drought and changing places.
​
Cape Town: changed by the experience of the East Cape Drought, and the issues with the city's water supply.
​
Will also consider the changing issues with cities which are fed by glaciers which are melting.
​
​
And finally, spaces which are currently dry, but with increasing sea level may become wet, or island archipelagos.
