Barry Smith is a self-confessed islomane. He has spent much of his 60-odd years at work, rest and play on islands all around the world - from Scotland's Western Isles to Sicily, from Alaska to Cape Horn. To cap it all, he has completed a doctoral dissertation... about islands. He lives in northern Scotland and France.
