I don't know if the house Dunga still stands in the #FaroeIslands (nor do I know where it was located). It was where the #Icelandic artist Karl Einarsson (1897-1972) grew up and was the basis of his last name (Carolus Africanus Einarsson Dunganon). You might also know him as Cormorant XII Imperator of Atlantis, duke of St Kilda. The last title was the one that stuck for Icelanders who have a soft spot for the #Hebrides (Suðureyjar) in general and #StKilda in particular.

Vatersay township, the main settlement on the beautiful Hebridean island of Vatersay. Connected to Barra by a causeway completed in 1991, this has since 1912 been the most southerly inhabited island in the Western Isles.
