#42 | Sailing from Fair Isle to the Orkney Islands: Exploring the Islands & Neolithic Wonders
In this episode, we set sail from Fair Isle and head towards the magnificent Orkney Islands. Our first stop is the captivating Island of Stronsay, known for its natural beauty and thriving agriculture. Get ready for an eco-friendly adventure as we explore the island with electric bikes, taking in the lush landscapes and the rock arch called the Vat of Kirbister. Did you know that these arches were formed by the collapse of an ancient sea cave?
As we continue our voyage, we enjoy a beautiful day sailing through the islands, passing through the challenging and narrow Vasa Sound finally reaching our next destination, Kirkwall.
Our journey doesn't end here; we set sail once more, this time through the notorious Eynhallow Sound with its challenging race with standing waves. We are blessed to...

Orkney Char pt2 (DNA collection )
A return to Hoy on a mission to collect DNA samples provided me with more than I needed!
Those familiar with my videos will remember that I stumbled on the Char last year which were believed to either extinct as an indigenous species or introduced as an invasive species.

Thanks to help from Malcolm Thompson and the Orkney Trout Fishing Association, it was discovered that there was a "char in a jar" from Heldale Loch in the 1800's and a cross reference in DNA might be possible.
My goal was to return this year and collect the adipose fins from a few sample fish.

Settling Scotland: Early Neolithic - The Knap of Howar
The Knap of Howar on the Orkney island of Papa Westray is over 5000 years old. According to Historic Environment Scotland, it is the oldest preserved house in northern Europe. The house demonstrates the transition from timber to more permanent stone dwellings, and the ingenuity of Neolithic fisherman/farmers in building a flourishing comunity in a new and sometimes hostile environment.

Jarls of Orkney Part 1
The Jarls of Orkney were a Norse dynasty that ruled the islands from the 9th to the 15th centuries, blending Norse culture with local Scottish influences. Founded by Norse settlers, the Orkney jarls played a pivotal role in both Norse and Scottish politics, often aligning with either Norway or Scotland depending on geopolitical circumstances. Famous figures like Sigurd the Mighty and Thorfinn the Mighty expanded their influence across the Northern Isles and beyond, participating in Viking raids and later integrating into Scotland's feudal system. The Orkney jarls' legacy includes their contributions to the Norse sagas and their enduring impact on Orkney's culture and history, making them integral to understanding the region's medieval past.

The Pictish Problem - Genetics of Scotland
Imputed genomes and haplotype-based analyses of the Picts of early medieval Scotland reveal fine-scale relatedness between Iron Age, early medieval and the modern people of the UK
Follow along at this open access link: https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1010360#pgen.1010360.ref052
Before the modern Scots, before the Angles and Saxons and Nordic populations of the Danelaw, before the Romans... Scotland was the land of the Picts. But where have these mysterious populations gone? In one of the first genetic analyses of Pictish Scotland, the authors of this PLOS Genetics article chart the results of eight bodies from Pictish graves from Ballintore and Lundin Links, Scotland.
This is an initial study, not nearly as comprehensive as those done in neighbori...

In this episode, we set sail from Fair Isle and head towards the magnificent Orkney Islands. Our first stop is the captivating Island of Stronsay, known for its natural beauty and thriving agriculture. Get ready for an eco-friendly adventure as we explore the island with electric bikes, taking in the lush landscapes and the rock arch called the Vat of Kirbister. Did you know that these arches were formed by the collapse of an ancient sea cave?
As we continue our voyage, we enjoy a beautiful day sailing through the islands, passing through the challenging and narrow Vasa Sound finally reaching our next destination, Kirkwall.
Our journey doesn't end here; we set sail once more, this time through the notorious Eynhallow Sound with its challenging race with standing waves. We are blessed to do this on a calm day. Along the way, we'll be treated to breathtaking views of the stunning cliffs on the west side of mainland Orkney, a sight to behold.
While a bus ride from Kirkwall to Stromness may take about 20 minutes, our boat journey around the mainland is an 8 ½ hour odyssey, and the experiences along the way are simply priceless.
In Stromness, our adventures continue as we embark on another thrilling excursion, again on rented bikes. Our first stop are the awe-inspiring Vesnaby Cliffs, and the sea stack of Vesnaby Castle, offering panoramic views that will leave you speechless.
But that's not all. The Orkney Islands are also home to a collection of neolithic sites, UNESCO World Heritage sites, each with its own unique tale to tell. Join us as we explore the ancient mysteries of Skara Brae, the enigmatic Ring of Brodgar, the archaeological treasure of Ness of Brodgar, and the mystical Stones of Stennes. These sites are a testament to the incredible history and culture of the Orkneys, and we can't wait to share their stories with you.
So, whether you're a sailor, a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or just someone seeking adventure, this episode has something for everyone. Join us as we uncover the hidden gems of the Orkney Islands.

Thanks to help from Malcolm Thompson and the Orkney Trout Fishing Association, it was discovered that there was a "char in a jar" from Heldale Loch in the 1800's and a cross reference in DNA might be possible.
My goal was to return this year and collect the adipose fins from a few sample fish.
I'm excited to find out the results!!
All fish returned safe (minus a fin they don't need anyway)

Imputed genomes and haplotype-based analyses of the Picts of early medieval Scotland reveal fine-scale relatedness between Iron Age, early medieval and the modern people of the UK

Before the modern Scots, before the Angles and Saxons and Nordic populations of the Danelaw, before the Romans... Scotland was the land of the Picts. But where have these mysterious populations gone? In one of the first genetic analyses of Pictish Scotland, the authors of this PLOS Genetics article chart the results of eight bodies from Pictish graves from Ballintore and Lundin Links, Scotland.
This is an initial study, not nearly as comprehensive as those done in neighboring England and Ireland, but the data indicate the movements of ancient populations over the millennia, and the authors promise further studies to come. So for you lovers of Scotland, wonder no more about the fate of the Picts, for their history is written in their genes.
