    I hope this finds you and yours doing well. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.

    my great grandfather was born on Fair Isle back in the 1860's and It is a haunting island that seems to captures the hearts of the many who have their roots there ...but I think the life is very hard and I am not sure many could survive the change to their daily lives .

    I loved watching these programmes. My parents lived on Fair Isle in the late 1950's /early 1960's and I spotted them (and myself as a toddler!) in the clips from that time in the second episode.

    Thank you to all the people who took part in the series, it was a privliege to have an insight into your lives. I loved learning a bit about Fair Isle knitting and how the tradition is being preserved. Good luck to you all!
