Interesting talk by Annie Thuesen – at Kirkwall, Scotland
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?
