Professor Peter Marshall's new book "Storm’s Edge: Life, Death and Magic in the Islands of Orkney" was launched 11 April 2024. Storm's Edge is a magisterial history, a fascinating cultural study and a mighty attestation to the importance of placing the periphery at the centre. Britain is a nation composed of many different islands, but too often we focus on just one. This book offers a radical alternative, encouraging us to reorient the map and travel with Peter Marshall through landscapes of forgotten history.
