A pleasure to think and write about @KathleenJamie’s latest collection, Cairn, for @paperboatswrite.
This book alongside several others of Jamie’s, prose and poetry, are on the shelves in Irvine (and will be heading elsewhere soon too).
Christina Riley from The Nature Library reviews @KathleenJamie’s ‘Cairn’.
“The whole collection effervesces with the astonishment, the absurdity, almost, of life, and the privilege of living through it.”

This is super, a great way of tying people and their stories to place, and the similarity to the to & fro of waves is a lovely visual metaphor. We need more of this!
Remember last year when I made a call-out for stories of the Orkney island of Eynhallow?
I was commissioned by @grainne_gms on behalf of @HistEnvScot to create a folklore-memory map. I'm pleased to say this is now on show in an exhibition entitled 'In the Land, of the People'.

Wreckage of an ancient ship found on an Orkney beach may have been buried under the sand for centuries until, like Skara Brae, it’s been uncovered by winter storms. Thanks to Sanday resident Jonathan Hines for this video.

Anyone out there that can help Holm sounder @FrancesScott with this great project?
Please share - I'd like to hear your stories, memories, facts, thoughts and myths about the Orkney island of Eynhallow.
These tales and observations will be gathered together to make a new handwritten map of the island for @HistEnvScot this month.
