I didn’t do anything exciting today. Himself went off to have a go at scuba diving. I e done some knitting, some reading, some washing and caught up with #westworld and #versailles It brightened up this afternoon, so I had a walk into #stromness and managed to lay my hands on some local yarn. It’s Aran weight, and I’m planning to make us a hat each - there should be just enough. #northronaldsaywool #scotland #orkney #yarnporn

Today, we have mostly been visiting chambered cairns 😊 1-3 are #unstanchamberedcairn which is around 5,000 years old It’s very close to the Standing Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brogdar. 4-7 is the #brochofgurness which is ‘only’ 2,500 years old. This is a circular tower surrounded by buildings, all within a defensive ditch. 8 is #cuweenhillchamberedcairn I didn’t go in this one as it was a hands and knees job! 9 was a little further up the hill. There was a whole series of these stone piles (some quite tall), which I assume are modern. From the bottom of the hill, they look like standing stones. 10 is the view from the cairn. On our way down we saw what we think was a #henharrier It was definitely raptor-shaped; it flew quite close and had a light grey body, with dark wing tips. As it went round the side of the hill, first a load of rooks took off and went nuts, then, a bit further away, a load of starlings did the same.

@craftycatknittybits is this an orchid too? I’ve just seen your post and it reminded me of this flower we say yesterday. It was unusual enough for me to take a photo of it. Although a paler colour, it looks very like the flower in your photo. #isthisanorchid #scotland #orkney #cottascarth

If we could have found a spot out of the wind, we could have stayed and watched the waves all day 🌊☀️🌬 #orkney #skarabrae #skaillbay #scotland #watchingwaves
