Wonderful view of #NorthRonaldsay taken for us by @PapayRanger in yesterday's sunshine from Dennis Ness looking west and south. And the wonderfully named Trolla Vatn, said to be bottomless, on the right foreground.

Thrilled to hear Blindboy @Rubberbandits discussing Orkney folklore last night in Edinburgh (selkies, the Sea Mither & the Nuckelavee)! Folklorist Tom Muir got a mention too - his tales of the Finfolk/vanishing islands are woven into my recent folklore-memory map of Eynhallow:
