"Orkney council to look at proposals to become territory of Norway"

I get that people in Orkney like people in other parts of the Disunited Kingdom are fed up with the current settlement but how would this work practically?

Many stone fences on Orkneys have standing stones on top. Is this old version of barbed wire fence? #OrkneyIslands #StoneFence

Some rather well-worn Memento Mori gravemarkers from Warbeth Cemetery, Stromness, Orkney, snapped a few moments ago in-between running for cover from the sleet and gale force winds! 🥶💀

Good morning from Orkney! The hills of Hoy looking particularly stunning as we passed by on the ferry yesterday. After an extended hiatus I am finally back in the field, archaeologically speaking. Lots of news to share. Watch this space! 😊
