This week Emily and Bryden take you to the Unst Fest live talk from Chris Dyer, an archaeologist and military historian. He takes us through the times of the vikings all the way through to when the site was taken over by the RAF in a very detailed talk in front of an audience of over 100 people in SaxaVord Spaceport's very own Supply Building.
The music this week is 'The love of the isles' by Willie Hunter, performed by Bryden Priest and Peter Wood.
