A multi-disciplinary dander over the hill land above the toonship of Corrigall in Harray, Orkney: its burns, tracks, topography, wildlife, history, archaeology, weather, fuel resources, lore, legend and atmosphere – the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feel – of the bogs and flanks of the Dale o Corrigall, extending to the Kame, Mid Tooin, Tooin o Rusht, Ernie Tooin and Hindera Fiold.

Repeat


On a third anniversary PHS trip, Carol Dunbar, Dan Lee and I made our way up the Dale of Corrigall in Harray yesterday, to the crest overlooking Rendall, the Bay of Firth, and Kirkwall.

Lovers of peat landscape may like to know that Laura Harrington's Layerscape will be screened in Teesdale on 18th March: part of the 'As Slow As Possible' AV Festival taking place throughout March in Newcastle, Gateshead, Middlesborough and Sunderland. (The event is sold out, officially, but Laura has written to say that the organisers have now released some further places.)
