The Critical Fish Trail

In October I was delighted to speak about my books at an event looking at 

how art and writing can be inspired by fish and the sea. This was one of 

many events and exhibitions organised in Hull by the Critical Fish Trail. For 

more than 30 years, this celebration of the city’s maritime and fishing heritage 

has provided an opportunity for writers and artists to showcase their work.

I mainly focused on The Salt Roads, telling the stories of Shetlands 

relationship with the sea and highlighting how the fishing industry had created 

the culture that continues to characterise Shetland to this day. I provided 

some background to my book and did a couple of my favourite readings.
