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
Arranged and introduced by Archie P. Lee
(The recorded broadcast of September 16 in the Scottish Home Service)
