@Baddie_Within Not here no, but there are other excavations taking place in and around Orkney. Mostly though in the summer. Check out Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology.

Royal Air Force Airbus A400M Atlas coming in over Kirkwall Airport this evening.

At first it looked like it was lining up to land… then it just kept going.

Epic footage captured by my friend and brand ambassador Lyndsay.

Stenness Loch completely still this evening. Taken right after sunset — sky and lights just hanging there.

@DailyLoud Her accent seems fine but that portion is massive enough to feed a whole family

Windwick Bay, Orkney: beauty masking tragedy.

On 12 Jan 1918, in a blinding blizzard, the destroyers HMS Opal & HMS Narborough ran aground on the rocks at Hesta. Of ~189 men, only one survived—Able Seaman William Sissons. #WW1 #LestWeForget

Beautiful seal pups at Windwick Bay this afternoon! 🦭

I filmed from up on the cliffs with the zoom so I wouldn’t disturb them.

If you’re heading there for seal spotting, please stay off the beach — you can easily see mum and baby from an elevated spot without stressing them out.

Mini overview of the Standing Stones henge monument.

Storm Boelo is starting to ramp up over Orkney so easier to do short overview from the car.
