Nostalgia for the past competes with modern day comforts as poet Kathleen Jamie joins an archaeological dig on Westray. Read by Maureen Beattie. Abridged by Linda Cracknell
Beneath the broad Alaskan sky, long-buried artefacts spill from the thawing tundra. In the eroding sand dunes of a Scottish island, preserved Neolithic hearths and homes are uncovered by the wind. And in a grandmother鈥檚 tenement flat, memories surface of a long-ago mining accident and a mother who was kind.
Nostalgia for the past competes with modern day comforts as poet Kathleen Jamie joins an archaeological dig on Westray.
