Sheena Wenham packed the Holm Hall for the launch of her book, “Flo, a Young Victorian Lady”.

Tom Muir kicked things off by explaining how Sheena came to write this book.

The book is based on the journals of Flo and others.

Using material from these journals, Sheena gave us a fascinating insight into the life and times of Orkney in the 19th century.
