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

We have an announcement.
Tomorrow is Dounby Show Day which is a local public holiday in #Orkney.
Orkney Library & Archive will be CLOSED ALL DAY so the staff can dress in their finest outfits and stroll around the park looking at all sorts of bullocks. 🐂
See you on Friday.

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.

We're not even joking it is ALREADY another Monday night and it's ALREADY 5pm so it must ALREADY be time for EPISODE SIX of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
It's a huge plot twist this week. Things are getting serious!
IT IS THIS LIGHT. 💡

The Italian Chapel on Orkney is a fascinating building with an even more fascinating history. If you visit, keep an eye out for the stained glass and amazing architectural design of this chapel… although it would be hard to miss!

It looks like our Primula scotica have lived fast this season. The last of the second flowering are out now and disappearing very quickly.. Nice to find these in a patch of sunlight on today's Papay Tour.

A day out at the West Mainland Show, or Dounby Show - always a fun day and a chance to catch up with folk. #Orkney

Quick maths also suggests I saw about 20% of our 400+ school roll today. I know it's not for everyone but I love living & teaching in this community ❤️ #Orkney
