Graemsay: a history

Bryce Wilson has pieced together the story of a hardy race of farmers, fishermen and seafarers who over time suffered famine and plague, war and impressment, and raised large families to seek their fortune across the globe. These pages are enlivened by tales of laird and matriarch, whaler and gold-digger, ship-master and Arctic adventurer, bishop, missionary, witch, artist and music hall entertainer.
