Is this link: Orcadia Group Photo Album http://tinyurl.com/28bx9x As someone who is a descendant of one who was christened and joined the Hudson's Bay Company at Stromness, his parents married at Evie and Rendall -- I am **extremely** curious regarding the area/street/gathering of dwellings. Would the owner of the flickr account be of a mind to change the camera numbering (?? .. e.g. CIMG0064) to a more descriptive name. Please and thank you. What can I say, I miss Sigurd's Orkneyjar links http://www.orkneyjar.com/portfolio/scenes/stromness/index.html --- thankfully he still keeps his site additions fairly up-to-date with his busy life.

That is a Flickr "Set" that I created on my account for any pictures members of this group want to put up. Flickr wouldn't let me change the file names (CIGM0064...etc) but I can change/add titles and descriptions, If I have the information. I went through them and fixed the ones I could, but would need help from the person that sent them to me on the rest. As far as the ones you seem to be interested in, that's going to be harder. Those are from a friend that lives south of Sterling. She travels a lot in her work and had a three day assignment in Orkney a couple of years ago. Although a native Scot, she had never been to Orkney before. She knows I have an interest in Orkney, so she took those and sent them to me. Problem is she is going through some serious medical issues right now with an uncertain outcome. So I can't ask her about them. Some we can all identify the Ring, Skarea (?) Brea, the Cathedral. But the street scenes I haven't a clue, and doubt that she would remember either, even if she was up to trying. Best I remember, they would be somewhere in Kirkwall, I don't think she went to any of the other towns. Maybe some of our Orkney residents recognize them?

CIMG0072 M&Co is 25 Albert St Kirkwall CIMG0071 also Albert St (Ortak is at #10) This I found out using Google Maps - if you have the actual file of the others I can enhance the signs and find out where they are as well... given its cobbled I would assume all along Albert St or in the nearby area.

Maybe some of our Orkney residents recognize them? > R I'm not all that familiar with Kirkwall as I only go there 2 or 3 times a year but I think that CIMG0068 is taken just outside the Orkney Hotel, about halfway down Victoria Street facing away from the cathedral. CIMG0069 is taken from about halfway down Bridge Street looking towards the spot where CIMG0071 was taken CIMG0071 is looking down Albert Street from just outside what used to be "Leonards" CIMG0072 is taken from Albert Street, facing towards the cathedral and just after the point where the pedestrianised area starts -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK "My friend had a pet rock, he called it Trelawney"
