Once exposed to the fresh air, the degrading it becomes. And it is expensive to seal and preserve.

Digging Orkney's past is both rewarding, and sometimes spectacular. In a great plave to be!

Looks Great. But what is entertainment?

Cooler than a Siberian subway to be sure.Magnificent landscape superbly presented.

Orkney has always been a homecoming!! Best place on this planet (next to my home of course)

A beutiful place, and unspoiled. Be proud of that!

I enjoyed growing up in orkney with my family and friends when I was little

Was Orkney once covered with trees?

Aunt Julia spoke Gaelic very loud and very fast. I could not answer her - I could not understand her. She wore men’s boots when she wore any. - I can see her strong foot, stained with peat, paddling with the treadle of the spinningwheel while her right hand drew yarn marvellously out of the air. Hers was the only house where I’ve lain at night in the absolute darkness of a box bed, listening to crickets being friendly. She was buckets and water flouncing into them. She was winds pouring wetly round house-ends. She was brown eggs, black skirts and a keeper of threepennybits in a teapot. Aunt Julia spoke Gaelic very loud and very fast. By the time I had learned a little, she lay silenced in the absolute black of a sandy grave at Luskentyre. But I hear her still, welcoming me with a seagull’s voice across a hundred yards of peatscrapes and lazybeds and getting angry, getting angry with so many questions unanswered. Norman MacCaig

Toad Stop looking like a purse. How could a purse squeeze under the rickety door and sit, full of satisfaction, in a man's house? You clamber towards me on your four corners - right hand, left foot, left hand, right foot. I love you for being a toad, for crawling like a Japanese wrestler, and for not being frightened. I put you in my purse hand, not shutting it, and set you down outside directly under every star. A jewel in your head? Toad, you've put one in mine, a tiny radiance in a dark place. Norman MacCaig Thank you for your reading it was magical btw.

I’m not sure if this is a tourism ad or not… But if it is… It’s sure working on me! We will be in the UK next year, and now I feel I need to swing by Orkney! 🎉

Very nice.Where do i apply to become Scottish please ? I can eat shortbread by the packet and have difficulty saying purple burglar alarm so i must qualify.

As a fellow beachcomber I love this video and have seen a few articles on Martin. Am I the only person on planet earth that doesn't have Facebook?!

beautiful scenery, all the complement colours of the irish heather, the mild tinge of Orkney sea-mist as a visual filter, a great example of using video to convey a brand story. that touches subtly, thank goodness the soundtrack is not using the shepherds whistle, because her voice is so calming. Beautiful knitwork too, i'd love to add her ways of deriving dyes from the natural vegetation around the island for her Woat, if possible, c'mon, help Lizza and Jenna get their brand out to the world as well! ❤❤

Amazing, so pleased this important find is being preserved. Once again it proves how important Orkney is yo world history.

❤

More content please, this is fascinating history!!!

Amazing
