SUMMARY:Life at the Coast 200 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:William Daniell’s voyage from Land’s End to Orkney \nTalk by Tom Dawson of The SCAPE Trust\, University of St Andrews.  The talk will be together with the Sanday Afternoon Club. \nTwo hundred years ago\, William Daniell published the final part of his ‘Voyage Round Great Britain’. Starting in 1813\, Daniell took ten years to create 308 drawings depicting the entire coast of Britain. Over half of his hand-coloured engravings were of Scotland\, including twelve from Orkney. His detailed images show natural features\, industry\, harbours\, lighthouses\, people and wildlife\, accompanied with stories of current events including shipwrecks and American privateers. With a focus on Orkney and north Scotland\, this talk will show how Daniell’s work remains relevant today\, helping us understand the huge social and environmental change witnessed at the coast. \n  \nAdmission is free and all are welcome
