     Enjoyed your page.. again. Sent it on to a friend whose ancestors are from Orkney. I'm sure she'll love what you've done here. Ah! Happy birthday just a bit early. Have fun!

     Hi Malcolm! Great page here with superb stories & info; well-deserving of a top 5 rank! Let's see if we make it up to Orkney this summer. So far the furtherst north we've been is Ullapool... we're slowly working our way up! / Jess ;-)
