“Waves are what they are,
Shimmeringness,
Oscillation,
Rhythmical movement which is the inherent essence of all things”
From Light, in Poems, Stories and Writings, Margaret Tait (88:2012)
The island of Egilsay where St Magnus was slain
Accommodation – where I stayed
Walking from Evie to Birsay
Walking from Birsay to Dounby
Walking from Dounby to Finstown
Walking from Finstown to Orphir
Walking from Ophir to Kirkwall
Resources – what I took with me
Walking without a donkey
