Let us now give thanks
for these salt-blown

wind-burned pastures
where oatgrass and timothy
shrink from the harrow of the sea…

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.

@DavidNorth
I'd just like to second that recommendation!
You will also find plenty of #neolithic and #Viking stuff there!
(But remember to check the weather forecast first :-)

Morning on Westray, Orkney

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.

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.
