@robotforaday Raggie here :-) I was wondering if you could help me find the best way to contact Rousay folk to ask them about folklore regarding names?

A most fabulous #runological day with the bright new star, Karen L. Holmqvist. Hope to see you shine for many years to come! Best wishes, Ragnhild aka Orkney Time Travel.
Good #runological day. Karen Holmqvist has defended her PhD thesis, ‘The Carving Self. Portrayals of the Self in Medieval Textual Graffiti from Norway and Connected Territories’, with good discussion generated by reviewers Marco Bianchi, aka @jarlabanke & Ragnhild Ljosland.

@sagaknitter Congratulations on your new home. I just wanted to say that I have just finished reading Valkyrie and it's one of the best books I have read on the Viking Age. Congratulations on that, too, and please keep writing! Raggie
@ashdouglasscot@eilidhdouglas It was fun to hear Eilidh on the radio this morning, talking about food waste and describing you as "the perfect domestic goddess" 👍😁
https://t.co/ORqwaUrdd9 I've been interviewed in the Herald about the witchcraft project
It was not just my project, though! Credit should go to everyone involved.
I'll be talking about the #Orkney#witchcrafttrials alongside Prof Liv Willumsen, University of the Arctic, this Thursday. All welcome. Registration here https://t.co/R7mmUx5I1m
@ashdouglasscot@makforrit Congratulations, Ashley! I have something I want to share with you as well, about Scots, but have lost your email address. Could you email me on my old uhi address? Raggie xx
