Another glorious day after an inauspicious start...and we were on our way to Hoy. This time we took the car so that we could do as much of the island as we wished. It's advisable to book a couple of days in advance for the ferry.

The Dwarfie Stone, a chambered tomb carved out of a glacial erratic.
Visitors to the Dwarfie Stane included a British spy in 1850, Major William Mounsey, who carved in Persian script ‘I have sat two nights and have learned patience.’ ..some think this was a reference to the midges! |
