An excellent talk by Annie Thuesen of @INS_UHI for @OAS_Orkney & @BrodgarT #VikingWeek on Norse #Orkney and Tourism. It will be available online soon.
How do we ensure #Viking sites get the attention they deserve, given the physical remains are not as prominent as the Neolithic? – at Kirkwall, Scotland

Disgraceful that the Govt has quietly signed off fracking on a busy last day before recess. They've ignored local people, overruled local councillors and torn up our commitments to tackle climate change.
This isn't over: we will keep fighting for clean, safe, renewable energy. xitter.cf/friends_earth/status/1…
