Foula: Edge of the World
Thu 25 October 2018
David Attenborough Building
In 2017, Cambridge Zoology graduate Sam Buckton travelled to Foula, Shetland, one of the most remote permanently inhabited islands in the UK, to participate in a seabird-tagging project. Whilst there he became fascinated by the history of the island and its inhabitants. In this talk, he will describe the remarkable story of Foula's habitation and its intimate relationships between people, land and sea, drawing particularly on the account by wildlife photographer and film-maker Christopher Mylne of his time spent on the island as schoolmaster and lay missionary in the 1950s. The talk is dedicated to Christopher, who passed away in March this year, and includes many of his own stunning photographs.
