Per...Bev - Oh yes I remember us scaring the sheep!<br /><br />Perpetua - glad you enjoyed the wander. Also pleased the larger photos are popular. I feared they may be slow to load for those with poorer broadband but no complaints so far!<br /><br />Bommie - Glad you enjoyed your virtual tour!<br /><br />Sybil - I should write about Orkney and trees sometime! In neolithic times there were more trees, and before that (lots of peat around), but climate changed some thousand years or so ago and now the windswept isles have trees in sheltered spots, and some native woodland, but are often though of as treeless. Graemsay has a small crop of native woodland trees in a small valley, but otherwise all the trees are "ornamental" or have been planted in recent years.<br /><br />Pat - glad you enjoyed your tour!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-58401572671172103982012-02-18T09:16:13.729+00:002012-02-18T09:16:13.729+00:00Enjoyed as always.Enjoyed as always.patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-45777613942400516162012-02-18T00:36:46.346+00:002012-02-18T00:36:46.346+00:00Love the interesting names of the buildings and th...Love the interesting names of the buildings and the fact the place is lousy with history. <br /><br />Was the island once treed ?Sybilhttp://crittersnus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-494472510581145122012-02-17T20:54:37.384+00:002012-02-17T20:54:37.384+00:00Enjoyed very much.
