On this date in 2008 we were on Orkney Mainland (a true non-sequitur), visiting stone circles and other ancient sites. This is a stone house (with stone furniture) at Skara Brae, which has a truly mind-boggling story - https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/skara-brae/history/
This was an experiment with watercolor crayons and water soluble pen. It's drawn from memory, showing a portion of the coast near #SkaraBrae.

Back in #SkaraBrae, still in the sewers. Spiders are everywhere, and the black widows are especially nasty!

Back in the office, first job of the day - opening up the replica of House 7. The carving on the bed that covered the cist where two #neolithic women were buried is also copied. #skarabrae #orkney

Happy St Andrew’s Day to Scots, wherever you are in the world. I’ve attached a variety of different images, hopefully all things which can make us proud of Scottish engineering, art, culture and history and serve as a reminder that we’ve been an innovative bunch for thousands of years. #Scotland #StAndrewsDay #Saltire #TheKelpies #SkaraBrae #FlyingScotsman
