Using a battered medium format camera once belonging to Fay Godwin, Alex Boyd captures the archipelago of St Kilda in a new light, from a 21st century perspective.
From the crumbling Cold War military base to the wild beauty of the natural landscape, this collection of photographs is both an ode to the history of the islands and an insight into the modern day lives of those who live and work on St Kilda today.
Join Alex for a fascinating illustrated talk on this most mysterious and isolated place.
Chaired by Gabriella Bennett, Reporter, The Times Scotland
