Rognvald's-vagr (corrupted to Ronaldsvoe) means "Rognvald's Bay" and was the original name for St Margaret's Hope. However the Ronaldsvoe I think you're looking for is just to the west of the Hope. -- Sigurd Towrie - Blackhall - Kirbister - Stromness - Orkney E-Mail: sigurd@orkneyjar.com Orkneyjar - The Heritage of Orkney: http://www.orkneyjar.com
