Shetland Archaeology & Crofting with Chris Dyer


Listen Later

Join me for a conversation with Shetland-based archaeologist and crofter Chris Dyer from Garths Croft in Bressay.

Chris Dyer is a professional archaeologist, military historian, crofter, drystone mason and retained firefighter who lives in Shetland. He lives at Garths Croft on the island of Bressay, one of the Shetland Islands, and offers bespoke croft and island heritage tours throughout Shetland. 

We chat about Shetland's fascinating history, Chris' experience with breeding native sheep breeds in the islands, his work as an archaeologist and our shared passion for wool.

** This conversation was recorded at a Wild for Scotland Social Club Session. They're exclusive sessions for my Patreon members, which take place 4x a year. Love the idea of joining conversations like this live? Join the Social Club now! **
