Hello everyone! I have been reading everyone's messages. The topics are very interesting, but I have a few questions. Hope you do not mind me asking and taking you off the topic. I checked out the lights, there must be lots because they look bright. Where is Kirkwall? How do people in Orkney celebrate Christmas? What are some old traditions? Is Bannock in Orkney, the same type for dough cooked by the Canadian Natives long ago? My roots are from Orkney and I would love to learn more about the land, people, traditions, history, even the weather. Take care, Tammy .
