Flo, A Young Victorian Lady & Her Visit to Orkney in 1866

Sheena Wenham's ancestors, Florence Sutherland Graeme and Flo's father, Alexander, kept journals of visits to Orkney in the 1800s. While the elder Sutherland Graeme describes life among the upper classes in Georgian times, Flo's stories breathe life into the social history of Victorian Orkney through the eyes of a vivacious and talented young woman. Her journal, paintings and sketches illuminate one facet of life in the Orkney of 1866.
