Joseph Storer Clouston, OBE, was a Scottish author and historian whose life and work spanned the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Born in Cumberland, England, on May 23, 1870, Clouston eventually relocated to Scotland, establishing a deep connection with the region of Orkney, where he lived until his death on June 23, 1944.\n\nThroughout his career, Clouston distinguished himself through his dual contributions to literature and historical scholarship. His dedication to his fields of study and his public contributions were recognized with his appointment as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). Today, he is remembered as a versatile Scottish writer who successfully bridged the worlds of creative authorship and historical documentation.
