Another 16th century tower house, Noltland Castle, #Westray, #Orkney. This was built quite defensively. You can see the holes for shooting through on the lower levels, rather than windows.

Noltland Castle on the island of Westray in Orkney, remarkable for being home to 71 gunloops. It was built in the 1560s by Gilbert Balfour, Sheriff of Orkney and a man whose approach to politics earned him many mortal enemies.

Photo I took a few years ago when having a writing retreat on Westray in Orkney Isles. Magic. This is my soul home. #orkney #westray #autistic #colors #sea #ocean #Atlantic #NorthSea #Scotland #writing #healing #soulhome

Thoughts on individual tracks from new album ‘Mouthful of Dust’
Tides - listening to wind singing through a metal gate at #NoupHeadLighthouse in #Westray. 3 tones would rhymically interplay endlessly by air passing over holes in the rusted metal. That evening listening to #DonCherry Organic Music Society, I understood something. Something I’ve tried to bring into my #CreativePractice since.
