Orkney A Special Place
Richard Clubley spent seven months in Orkney, gathering local views and stories from lighthouse keepers, farmers, archaeologists, and climbers. He shared home bakes with locals on dreary winter afternoons, recording their memories. This beautifully illustrated book showcases the northern Scottish islands, portraying them fairly and honestly.
Travellers will be charmed by Richard's descriptions of the Orkney landscape and way of life, which may even reveal new stories to local residents. A unique insight into Scotland's islands, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in exploring these special places.
