Tomb of the Eagles Crowd-funder…..
The Tomb of the Eagles Community Development Group, which sits under the South Ronaldsay & Burray Development Trust, is promoting a Crowdfunding campaign to raise 20k, running from 1 March to 12 April.
Mike and I have long had a very strong interest in and affection for what we refer to as The Eagle Cairn. I’ve written about it quite a few times…

…I wrote…….“Then – a ray of hope – we find that the Cairn itself will re-open when all other un-manned tombs in Orkney open.“
That didn’t happen, but this new development might mean that it will!

“Indoor activities in Orkney
Orkney is a place where you can experience all kinds of weathers in a single day, even during spring. So, if you’re planning a visit to the islands, it’s always handy to have some indoor options to hand, just in-case things get a little too ‘invigorating’ in the great outdoors. Don’t worry though, there is still so much to see and do here with a roof over your head, whether it’s in a coffee shop, distillery, or a Neolithic cairn. Take a look at some of our favourite indoor activities in Orkney.”
