Good Day Tammy and Welcome to the List! Mike suggested the website. He's right. I've found oodles of good information there, myself. I hope that might be a good place for you to start. The list discussions are infrequent, but sometimes interesting. If you are in the mood to hunt for pictures, I'd like to suggest doing a search for Charles Tait. Beautiful photos of Orkney and I believe they can be purchased as well. Hope you feel at home on the list.
