The Cairns – Day Eight….
An over-view by Elio Camus…

Pic. entitled…. ‘The western corner of the North Room occupation deposits’ – look at that wall – just look at it – such workmanship – and on a curve, too.
Good to see a mention of Alec at Orkney Antiques Centre. We’ve acquired various bits & pieces form Alec over the years - including old tools which are made to last and carry a history with them – as does The Cairns broch.
Most of my paperweights have come from Alec….
