I didn't take the photo that heads this page, It's the Hope in the 1890s, My grandfather, who was born near here in 1849, would have seen it like this. Today it's all skyscrapers with beachfront hotels and cafés and looks like this:  Actually, I reckon he'd find his way around without too much trouble!

Hi David, I love your blogs and photos. My great great grandfather was also born nearby, on Sanday, in 1825. So I am making my first trek to the Orkneys from Australia to visit our ancestral lands. I am SO looking forward to it! I hope I find some lovely old photos like the one you've shown here. Leave a Reply. |
AuthorI like to take photos and am fond of clichés - so I'll say I find them to be worth a thousand words. Archives
