Orkney


There was a full house on 26th November to hear Margaret Anderson talk about the rich archaeological heritage of Orkney. This was her second lecture. The first, earlier this year, was on the Stone Age including Skara Brae and Maes Howe. This second lecture dealt with the Bronze Age, Iron Age and the years up to, and including, the coming of the Vikings. In two well illustrated lectures, she told us of the archaeology which is still being discovered today and which is changing our understanding of Orkney’s past. In thanking Margaret for her talk, Liz Dent also thanked her for the popular walks and talks and tours which she has given to the Friends and said that all had appreciated these.
