We were lucky enough to be at the Ring of Brodgar this morning for a frosty, misty, January sunrise ❄️ 🩷

What a place! 😍

Tractors lit up with Christmas lights in front of St Magnus Cathedral

The streets of Kirkwall were full of festive fun tonight thanks to the Orkney Christmas Tractor Run 🚜 🚨 🎄

Now in its fourth year, the run sees tractors and machinery of all shapes and sizes tour the town to spread some Christmas spirit and raise funds for local charities.

When the late November light in Orkney is just right...😍 🧡

It's a beauty, that's for sure 😍

Beautiful pic!

Next week we're hosting our inaugural tap room sessions.

Are any of our new Bluesky followers in Orkney coming along?

If you're not in Orkney, would you come if you were up here?!

That looks a bit more Faroe/Shetland-like, but still a lovely pic!

Love it! And the friendly sheep at the Standing Stones are always worth a quick chat too 😂

Lovely! Was a bit of a wild weekend indeed, now watching sleet and hail fall!

No problem, Jeff - here's the Broch of Gurness in Evie, one of our favourite historical sites in Orkney 😍 If you're researching ancestry it's definitely worth contact the Orkney Family History Society, they'd point you in the right direction 👍

Ah, that's lovely, Barbara 😍

Beautiful! What a pic, Michael 👏

It is SUCH a lovely island 😍

We shall peer menacingly through their windows for as long as it takes.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, #Orkney here 👋 (not the Orkney Library, you're stuck with us until they appear...)

We're in the mood to share some pics from the islands to get things started, any requests?

Here's our Old Man of Hoy in the meantime 😊
