Jocelyn Rendall's serialises her book Farstraers. This second episode has incredible stories of real Orcadians who left Orkney for a new life in America in the 18th century. Jocelyn is joined by a cast of voices, bringing the words in papers, diaries and manuscripts in the Orkney Archive back to life. It's a compelling account of hard times and epic voyages, and hopes and dreams set against the backdrop of the American revolution.
