Greetings!
Hurry up, you'll be late for the wedding!
While wandering around Kirkwall, we discovered that a fairly well-connected local family was having a wedding at the town's church. If you weren't invited, you were outside watching, waiting for the bride to show up.
Before the wedding, we walked through the three floors and garden in one of the best local museums we've seen in a long time. There are few places where 5,000 years of history can be laid out in great detail, with displays containing evidence almost all from local sources, without having to explain that some foreign explorers took the best of it to museums in Berlin or London. I could spend many more hours in The Orkney Museum.
The weather this morning appeared to be what most think it would be like north of Scotland - overcast and a bit a rain, so we had breakfast at our guest house (Castaway), and I composed a Google Map of our travels around the area for the next week. Each red icon contains the itinerary for the day, and the blue spots are the sites we'll be seeing. Be sure to zoom in using the plus sign and out with the minus, so you'll be able to accurately click on the site icons. Use your mouse to drag around the map.
