Scots Can Go to Extremes


Emigration has been a feature of Scottish islands since global travel was first undertaken.

It is not surprising that the only township on that mid-South Atlantic volcanic island is named Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.  A new website takes a closer look at some of these extreme islands.
