Welcome
Yorkneyfiles

We've been regular visitors to Orkney since 1969 when we came as students from York University on an archaeological excavation. Our most recent visit was in summer 2005 and some of the photos are now on this site.

The history of the Newark Bay dig has now been moved to the Yorkneyfiles pages.

General links

Something about Graemsay - probably because we spent quite a bit of time looking at the island when last in Orkney and staying in Orphir! Also lots of other good links. Ship plotter is very useful - you can see the Hamnavoe approaching and then pick her up on the Stromness Harbour webcam. Now if someone were to set up a webcam in St Margaret's Hope I could watch the Pentalina as well ...
