Storm's Edge: Life, Death and Magic in the Islands of Orkney

Peter Marshall was born in Orkney. His ancestors were farmers and labourers on the island of Sanday where, in 1624, one of them was murdered by a witch. Merging his local experience with wider perspective, Marshall takes a fresh look at a small group of islands that has usually been a mere footnote in most accounts, and invites us to think differently about major events of Scottish and British history. This book explores politics, folklore and community memory by the winner of the 2018 Wolfson Prize for history writing.
