Description: An extensive exploration of the ancient history, folklore and traditions of Orkney. Includes up to date sections on the Ring of Brodgar, Maeshowe, Minehowe and other major archaeological sites.
The Battle of Summerdale, in 1529, as any Orcadian should be able to tell you, was the last pitched battle fought on Orkney soil.
Although history and local tradition now treats this confrontation as a battle, it is likely that it was little more than brief, but bloody, skirmish on the boundary of the parishes of Orphir and Stenness.
When people first began to communicate in writing, their implements were crude, forcing them to make do with simple drawings that could be easily scratched on stone or wood.
