| Milbrig Our home on Orkney |
Saturday morning a bright clear morning with much sun. We
sat outside and read and laid plans for Kirkwall Library and then onto Mull
Head, Deerness on the East Mainland. We thought Kirkwall Library might contain
records of where the Birmingham University’s Department of Ancient History, and
therefore Sian was digging a Picts site in 1981.
No luck in the library and as we drove out to Deerness a
thick mist descended on the peninsular! We drove on think we found the field,
near Skaill Farm where most of the work was done. Just before this we thought we found the old
school when she and a group of 20 other students stayed during the three-week
dig. Enquiring at Deerness Stores we met a farmer who confirmed the old school
as the place and also supplied the wheelbarrows for the dig each year. So the
mist (of time) partially lifted.
