This week, Jackie dives into a biographical account of life on the remote St Kilda in the early 20th century. Using handwritten diaries kept by Alice MacLachlan, a schoolteacher who lived on the archipelago between August 1906 and May 1909, we can get a hugely personal view of the challenges and unique circumstances of life there.

In this special episode, you will hear extracts from the diaries brought to life and original music inspired by the islands.

You can find more about the St Kilda diaries here.
