Introduction By Joni Keen
Joni Keen introduces you to her podcast created on the Scottish island of Arran, promoting its people, arts, businesses and beautiful Arran itself.
Failte - Welcome! Hello and a warm welcome to my website "Stories From a Scottish Island". My name is Joni Keen and for over thirty years I've lived on Arran, one of nearly seven hundred islands that surround and make up the country of Scotland. Although I'm perhaps a little biased, I think Arran has to be one of the most beautiful and diverse Scottish islands there is and it's less than one hour's sailing from the Scottish mainland by the daily ferry service.
Often called Scotland in miniature, Arran is a Scots Gaelic word that means peaked hill, an obvious reference to Gaoda Bheinn - Goat Fell, the mountain which dominates the isle.
It's not just the island that has a diverse topography and geography, but the people who live here as well. That's why I decided to create this podcast which celebrates the people and communities that make up the islands population.
Arran is the home to artists, musicians, businesses, artisans and everything in between. The stories that these people have to tell are at times wonderful, amazing, sometimes sad but always interesting. Now with so many of us connected worldwide through the Internet, you and the world can hear their life stories from their own lips.
As well as giving a worldwide voice to the island of Arran like never before, I will also be ensuring that the artists, musicians, authors, chefs, island guides and companies that create so many beautiful things are also heard and seen. The island of Arran produces some of Scotland's finest products and produce. I want to highlight to you and others around the world the wonderful art, crafts, literature, music and more that the people from this island of Arran create.
So, join me Joni Keen as I explore the many delights of the beautiful island of Arran and the talents that are held here. I'm sure once you get to know the people and stunning beauty of Arran, you like so many others will want to visit and explore Scotland in miniature, the isle of Arran.
