Sheona Urquhart

An astrophysicist who has lived and worked all over the world, Sheona Urquhart spent much of her childhood in the north of Scotland gazing at the stars, and is as fascinated by myths and legends, from the Hebrides to Hawaii, as she is by Extragalactic Astrophysics, the subject of her PHD from the University of Victoria in Canada. The episode is hosted by Hebridean Dark Skies Festival programmer Andrew Eaton-Lewis.  The sound was mixed by Hamish Brown. Campfire Conversations is presented in association with The Scotsman.
