Description
Across the various "Churchill Barriers" (blocking entrance to Scapa Flow from the east side). Stopped off to view the Italian Chapel built by the Italian POWs who were "asked" to build the barriers. Then off to the north east tip of East Mainland Orkney for a walk to the Brough Of Deerness. Mad, hardy, ancient people (Picts, Norse and later) lived on a headland separated from the mainland. You can climb to the actual Brough but the guide book talks about holding on to the chains to guard against the dizzying heights. Yeah - right - with my dog - not likely! So photos from a distance only! The Gloup is a hole in the land when the sea comes in!
