SANDSIDE HOUSE
Welcome to Sandside, my home on the island of Graemsay, Orkney, Scotland. I'm Sian, and I've lived here for the last eleven years. This site tells you a little about the history of the house, and life on the island. Although the house may at first seem very isolated, Graemsay is, in fact, a very close knit community. Sandside has been renovated from a near-derelict property. Some of the photos of the early phases of renovation are on this site.
I have taken up writing a blog which is updated every few days. So if you are interested in life on a small island then click on the link below!
