Join us for a guided walk around #Papay looking at the places we meet long the way and what their #PlaceNames can tell us about the landscape and the people who have lived here over the last 1000 years! Saturday 6th July at 10:30am! See poster for details.
ALT Poster advertising a walk, with a black and white photo of stone-built croft house in Papa Westray. The details of the walk read: ‘Join us for a guided walk looking at the names of Papay. Our walk will be a slow consideration about the places we meet long the way and what their names can tell us about the landscape and the people who have lived here over the last 1000 years. The walk will be approximately 5 miles in length and (almost) circular. Meet outside the shop: 6th July 2024 at 10:30am. Open to all ages & free (hallway stop ate Café)’.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our summer episode, Ballast.
We’re pleased to share with you all a film by Penny Chivas, which was intended to be screened within the episode. Here is the link to her film, open until 2nd July.

Wonderful view of #NorthRonaldsay taken for us by @PapayRanger in yesterday's sunshine from Dennis Ness looking west and south. And the wonderfully named Trolla Vatn, said to be bottomless, on the right foreground.

Thrilled to hear Blindboy @Rubberbandits discussing Orkney folklore last night in Edinburgh (selkies, the Sea Mither & the Nuckelavee)! Folklorist Tom Muir got a mention too - his tales of the Finfolk/vanishing islands are woven into my recent folklore-memory map of Eynhallow:
