Travels and trivels

A few photos from some recent travels around the north.

Firstly though, Stuart from Edinburgh asked on my last blog if the Boss was any good - He was indeed. 3 hours. 27 songs. Tremendously energetic performance. I believe a fellow blogger is going to be seeing him in Oslo. I wonder who? She is in for a treat.

I took the long way up from Aberdeen in April, stopping off at one or two spots including Culloden moor, and also Whaligoe. This is a now abandoned fishing station some 7 miles south of Wick. It was sited in a fairly inaccessible inlet, and to gain access to the sea a flight of 365 steps were hewn into the cliff face.
The women of the area would carry the catch up the steps, and allegedly carry the men out to the boats. Couldn't have them getting wet now could we. I include this information purely for educational and historical purposes, and make no further comment. I'm sure others will!

I was in Orkney last weekend with the Lerwick Jarl Squad taking part in the St Magnus Festival. We participated in the pageant outside St Magnus Cathedral, which also involved jugglers, acrobats, singers, dancers and the Kirkwall City Pipe Band. We did our usual quota of singing, and were also responsible for hauling the acrobats up the cathedral walls!

We also took the chance to visit a couple of well kent Orkney landmarks, Maes Howe and the Ring of Brodgar, for some photos. And the general amusement of the other visiting tourists. It'll be a sad day at the end of the year when the suit has to go away in a box and the trivelling comes to an end.

Great photos, AR. I love the Viking ones, the other visitors must have been thrilled to have Vikings there. I bet they took 100s of photos of you!

Ah yes dbd, but you played no small part in events yourself. I think we should draw a veil over events, least said etc.

ArdnortRupshot from Feeling fine


DBD why have you stopeed blogging???

carol from over here


Ah Carol, I have no good reason. I guess I just got out of the way of it. I still log on to I.B. regularly and enjoy keeping up to date. Some of the good folk of Trondra have a mini golf tournament planned for this coming weekend so I will endeavour to take a few pics and incorporate them into a blog next week - touche Ardnort
