James Proctor first visited the Faroe Islands in 1992 on board the Smyril ferry sailing from Aberdeen, and has been back and forth ever since. Accompanied half of the way by a pod of dolphins and buffeted by gale force winds and stormy seas during the rest of the journey, his love affair with the North Atlantic got off to a flying start. Whilst working as the BBC's Scandinavia correspondent, he produced a series of television and radio reports about the islands, concentrating on the issues of independence and whaling. An experienced travel writer specialising in the Nordic countries, he has written Bradt's Faroes, Lapland and West Sweden guidebooks and co-written other travel guides to Iceland, Reykjavík, Sweden and Finland. He now lives in North Yorkshire where he presents a daily show on his local radio station.
