5,000 YEARS of Orkney History in 30 minutes!
The Orkney Islands hold some of the world's best preserved evidence of neolithic settlements, and we're looking at some of them this week.
We visit Skara Brae, unearthed by a storm in 1850, containing precious artefacts shedding light on how people lived on the islands 5,000 years ago.
Next up, we explore the ritual behaviour of the ancient island people, as we discover the folklore and purposes of the Ring of Brodgar and the Standing Stones of Stenness.
In order to look at the next neolithic... thing... on our itinerary, we have to take the world's shortest commercial flight, between Westray and Papa Westray, to visit the Knap of Howar.
Having seen how these ancient people lived, we then fin...

We're back this week, and we're exploring the beautiful Orkney Islands. There's something for everyone here - dramatic landscapes, stunning wildlife, wonderful food and drink and lovely people. We were lucky enough to spend nearly three weeks on Orkney this Spring, and these are some of the places we'd recommend you go if you're on the islands. We're Stephen and Claire. You may know us as the T...

THE BEATLES & LIVERPOOL (a LOCAL'S TOUR)
Просмотров 6524 месяца назад
This time, we're headed to Stephen's home city - Liverpool. The city is synonymous with The Beatles, the band that rocked the world in the 60s and 70s, and shaped popular music for decades afterwards. Liverpool is full of Beatles references, such as Strawberry Field and Penny Lane. We're visiting it all - from the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, to the club where they first f...

Is MORECAMBE really that BAD? We find out…
Просмотров 946Год назад
This week, we head up north and visit the beautiful seaside town of Morecambe. Once a destination for Victorian holidaymakers, the town is now one of the most deprived in the country, which is reason enough to put many people off visiting. We ask the question, though, should it? On a well-known online review website, the statue to Eric Morecambe (a famous British comedy double-act performing fo...

    The stones are moved into place by laying seaweed on the ground and dragging the stones across it to move it long distance. That’s the best working theory from archaeologists here in Orkney.

    My daughter has just moved to Mallaig. The perfect excuse to spend some time on Skye, where I saw three Sea Eagles from the Cliffs at Portree, i got some shots of one that drifted right overhead. I will get them up on my computer and if good enough I will share. There were Golden Eagles near our campsite which was a bonus. The Island and the Western Highlands are a wildlife utopia. I enjoyed your video and like your style well done.

      Thank you, cold ears are the worst! The pink headband (I think features in this video) I actually brought on a tiny Orkney island we visited, it was handmade by a local and the money went to charity, we feature me buying it in an upcoming video. My tweed cream headband I brought a few years ago at a craft market and sadly there isn't a label saying where it was from. I'm sure you will be able to get one online, they are brilliant for keeping your ears toasty! Thank you for your contained support and glad you enjoy our adventures :)
