    3. As part of an EU project to develop cultural tourism by using the Icelandic Sagas there is going to be a meeting in Orkney from 22nd to 27th January 2004. Delegates from Shetland, Faroes, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Norway and Sweden will gather to discuss their projects and to see some of the Norse sites in Orkney. Orkney Heritage, the local authority department which runs the Orkney Islands Council owned museums, will act as hosts. Part of Orkney Heritage's project is the development of an Orkneyinga Saga Trail linking places that appear in Orkney's Orkneyinga Saga. See http://www.orkneyjar.com/news/saga.htm for more details. -- Sigurd Towrie Blackhall - Kirbister - Stromness - Orkney Heritage of Orkney: www.orkneyjar.com Home: sigurd@orkneyjar.com Work: sigurd.towrie@orcadian.co.uk
