In today's episode, I'm chatting with Kirsty Cox, Actress, Seal Advocate and Scottish Island Wanderer. Born in London, based in Bristol and growing up between Edinburgh, Glasgow and the sea, Kirsty first fell in love with the Isle of Arran as a child, and its island charms have kept her returning ever since. Reflecting on her draw to small islands and life on tour as an actress, in this episode we explore the beautiful ways that water follows Kirsty wherever in the world she goes.
