#Orkney islanders and some visitors came together to stand in Vigil on the Kirk Green. They do this to raise awareness of the #Gaza Genocide and of the Palestinian People for Peace and Justice.

Good ideas start in Orkney.
Excited to be heading to Kirkwall for an afternoon of practical conversations about social enterprise, sustainability, funding and what comes next.

Spent a lovely afternoon in the fab @orkneylibrary.bsky.social #Archives this afternoon trawling a few more records for #PlaceNames! Today's focus was #Stronsay with names from a manuscript map and a poor distribution list! Love the drawing of the house of Huip! #Orkney

Happy 479th Birthday to Miguel Cervantes who was born #onthisday in 1547 🎂
In his most famous work Don Quixote, the title character charges at windmills, mistaking them for monstrous giants with swords, so in tribute we're all going up Burgar Hill in #Orkney to tilt at the wind turbines. 🎉

Tomb with a view - Taversoe Tuick, a Neolithic chambered cairn on Rousay (one of the Orkney islands). Rousay is often referred to as the ‘Egypt of the North’ on account of its many wonderful archaeological sites. 📸 My own. #TombTuesday #Rousay #Prehistory #Archaeology #Orkney
On this day #OrkneyBirding ... Western Sandpiper was new to #Orkney and remains the sole record of this Nearctic peep. The Spotted Sandpiper is only the second of three county records. Three Citrine Wagtails and four Olive-backed Pipits are a standout run of records. #rarebirds
A stone #Papay stile today for @judithjesch.bsky.social & @lakesstiles.bsky.social between Scarra Ber (ON skarfr 'shag' & 'rock') & The Sneck, perhaps Scots 'latch of a door or gate' in the sense of closing off the hill dyke here to prevent stock from crossing at low tide #Orkney #PlaceNames
