This is Buddo. The earliest depiction of a human figure found anywhere in the British Isles. It is made out of whale bone and can be found in the Stromness Museum on Orkney. At 4,900 years old it comes from a time when mammoths still walked the Earth 🦣 . #neolithic #Orkney

Back in the old days in #Orkney, the thing that crows were *most* terrified of was being called a cad or a bounder by a dapper gentleman in a top hat. 🎩

Tomorrow (19th September) is #TalkLikeAPirateDay and your annual reminder that when we talk the way we talk when we're talking like a pirate, it's because of a film that was based on a book, inspired by an earlier book, inspired by a real life pirate from #Orkney!
ARRR! 🏴☠️👇

A 7th century Pictish symbol stone discovered in 1936 during excavations at the Knowe of Burrian - a broch at Netherbrough, Harray, in the Orkney Isles. Now part of the collections at the Orkney Museum in Kirkwall. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Orkney #Picts

This is the Neolithic chambered cairn of Maeshowe in #Orkney which was built 5000 years ago. Every year on the #WinterSolstice (if the sky is clear) the setting sun shines down a perfectly aligned passageway and illuminates the inner chamber.💡

It's a little known fact that back in the old days in #Orkney, birds were scared away from crops by a dapper gentleman in a top hat calling them bounders and accusing them of rakish behaviour.

Trying to choose the perfect moment to start this lush-looking book: ‘Widdershins’ by Allyson Shaw. I know I’m in for a real Orkney folklore inspired treat! Plus there’s a map and little illustrations… what’s not to love? #Orkney #BookSky #IndieAuthor @allysonshaw.bsky.social
