Living in Orkney Today
This site is loosely divided into two sections. The first is devoted to my life at The Hall of Heddle and East Heddle, Firth, Orkney, and is consequently of somewhat esoteric interest to most. The second section is about Orkney, modern Orcadian living and information about the society, politics, culture, natural heritage and bird life of contemporary Orkney.
My original intention was to showcase the fresh, beautiful, wild and spectacular natural environment of both the ancient and modern Orcadian World against the backdrop of the wonderful home and garden that Orkney and Heddle has become.
Things change, and while I continue to add sections about Heddle I am also posting articles about issues that effect a wider public. The most current of these is Winds of Change and Winds of Change Q&A, about the threat posed by the industrial Wind turbine business to the Orcadian landscape.
In addition we have produced a wealth of Orkney related content under the Why Orkney section of our sister website, orkneycrofts.com, which covers information aimed at those intending to visit Orkney.
So relax, slow down, take the weight off. You may find some surprises so delve deeply. Any opinions herein are entirely mine own. If you are looking for more specialist information about Orkney, then try the Orkney Links page which I hope you find helpful.
The photo galleries are regularly updated and are definitely to be viewed at modern bandwidth.
The site has undergone a major upgrade this year (2008) and some new sections have been added and older bits removed or revised. I have also tried to produce some useful gardening links pages for those of us in the far north, though beware, the listed sites could dent your credit cards.
Check out the Weblog for most recent daily news… and as we are grown up we have a good privacy poilcy which is actually quite interesting.
