It's a little known fact that back in the old days most Orkney men were actually giants and could easily lift a full size horse.

And finally, a wonderful Stewart Bale photograph inside a ship’s writing room, wouldn’t you just love to read one of those letters now and discover what our elegant subjects are musing over?

A kitten and some hens on a windowsill from a hundred years ago.

We have no idea how this was done but we hope they all survived. 🐈🐤

There once was a difficult coo,
who wouldn't go to sea with a crew.
They pushed and they pulled,
but the coo wouldn't be fooled,
it just stood there and let out a moo.

The best thing about this very jolly photograph of Prince (now King) Charles visiting in the 1970s is NOT Prince (now King) Charles.
