Notes:
These short stories are first-hand accounts by people who are part of the continuing and constant flow of humanity into new lands across borders and cultures. We might call them New Highlanders and that description allows them to be part of this mix of people who over many years have settled in the North of Scotland. Many migrated to Orkney during the late '60s and '70s bringing new ideas and energy to the area. These accounts of individual lives give us an insight, with honesty and humour, into the difficulties and challenges of moving into a new land and culture. This book is dedicated to these heroes who, with warmth and generosity, told their stories, teaching us much about our common shared humanity.
