The ruins of the Earl's Palace seen over the village of Birsay, on Orkney's West Mainland. The image shows a road leading downhill between grassy verges and a wall on the right in the foreground to a village of mixed age. Beyond the village are the extensive honey-coloured ruins of buildings that rise to wall head and chimney height in places. The scene is in sunlight.

The remains of St. Peter’s Church on the Brough of Birsay in Orkney. The 12th century church was possibly part of a monastic complex. 📸 My own. #MedievalMonday #Birsay #Orkney

View towards Marwick headland, Orkney. Grass in the foreground then sand and seaweed then white-capped waves on the bay. Cloudy sky against the luminous light of early winter afternoon in #Orkney.
View towards the East from Birsay, Orkney. Grass in the foreground then white-capped waves on the sea crashing against the rocks of the coast. Cloudy sky with broken blue sky and a full rainbow #Orkney.

After a morning picking up Christmas food orders in Kirkwall I took a little jaunt up to #Birsay earlier this afternoon with my parents. Still enough wind to make the waves interesting but not as wild as Saturday! Lovely light and a beautiful rainbow too. I do love calling this place home ❤️ #Orkney
