Swandro!!!...Plus.....
There has been an archaeological dig happening at Swandro, Rousay for some years now. After a break due to Covid the diggers are back on site this year and in preparation for this Caz Mamwell put together a review/over-view of the Swandro dig and its finds so far in the site Newsletter…..

……which features what, for me, is the prize find – the stone which has a Pictish Blacksmith’s handprints on it – I repeat – A STONE WITH A PICTISH BLACKSMITH’S HANDPRINTS ON IT!

The Farting Liners
As the liners leave Orkney
They fart at us
Across the Bay.
It’s said to be to announce
Their departure
But I think they’re farting at us.
They’d stick two finger up at us
If they had fingers.
