ReplyDeleteI spend a lot of time in beautiful Scotland as I have family there, but I've not yet made to Orkney. As you rightly say, graffti is not new, even the ancient Norman castle near me have it.
ReplyDelete*castles!
DeleteI've wondered what the meaning of Orkney was not expecting it to be a place. So interesting, and the grafitti! How cool is that? Discoverers / pirates stopping by to say we've been here. So funny. Like when people go on vacation and put their names on the wall of a restaurant. Maybe that's what the stones really were... the posts / columns of a lodge / gathering place waaaaaaaaayy back when. :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What a fabulous lace to visit!
ReplyDeleteBet it was fun :)
