Profile of a man of Fair Isle
One of Scotland's isolated outposts is Fair Isle, midway between the Orkney and Shetland groups. Set in a wide, always-moving sea, no steamers call there.
Three of the forty-six islanders (most of them related) were baptised Jerome Stout: nicknames identify them. Utra Jerry explains why he is so called and describes other aspects of island life, in conversation with Laurence Graham.
Traditional fiddle music played by Tammie Anderson
