- **Event Name**: Book launch and talk: Sheena Wenham - Flo, a Victorian Lady
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 03:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join our Vice Chair, Sheena Wenham, in talking about her latest publication.

Sheena Wenham's ancestors, Florence Sutherland Graeme and Flo’s father, Alexander, kept journals of visits to Scotland's Orkney Islands in the 1800s. While the elder Sutherland Graeme describes life among the upper classes in Georgian times, Flo’s stories breathe life into the social history of Victorian Orkney through the eyes of a vivacious and talented young woman. Her journal, paintings and sketches lovingly illuminate one facet of life in the Orkney of 1866.

Along with the art and journal entries by Flo and - a generation earlier - Flo's father, the author adds her own chapters illuminating Flo's life in England, details and paintings from a visit to Glamis, an Afterwards chapter and separate Who's Who chapters covering Orkney residents mentioned in both Flo's and Alexander's Orkney journals.


“... a vividly entertaining glimpse of times long gone ... a valuable addition to Orkney’s historical record.”  ~ Bryce Wilson, Orkney Islands historian and artist
