The caves at Greenholm seem to fit the bill.

Gairsay, home of Sveinn Ásleifarson in the #Saga of the Earls of #Orkney!... Will we see the caves in which he hid from Earl Haraldr as we pass Greenholm!? open.substack.com/pub/uonengli...

We've just been to the preview of this wonderful exhibition by @papayranger.bsky.social and Saiorse Higgins, a must-see if you're in Glasgow, in fact a reason to go! #Papay #Orkney gsaexhibitions.co.uk/exhibition/s...

I'm excited to announce that I'll be sharing some findings of my PhD research at an online talk for UHI's Institute for Northern Studies on November 27, titled 'Families, Networks and Informants: The Making of Orkneyinga saga'. Click the link below to register!

An 'annotated' stanza (with systematic use of parenthetic clauses to reflect on the poetic diction in the stanza) by our #Orkney friend Earl Rögnvaldr and his Icelandic mate Hallr. Now how scholarly were these guys ... in amongst all the swords. 1/2

ON dys occurs in many #Orkney #PlaceNames incl. Disher (N. Ronaldsay) where it appears in the plural, Geo of Dishan (Egilsay) where the ending appears to retain the ON definite article & Milly-dissan & The Disses o’ the Holm (both Holm of Papay) the first applying to a fishing mark! (Marwick)

Bjarni Kolbeinsson, son of Kolbeinn Heap of Wyre, is called a 'skald' (poet) in ch. of 84 the Saga of the Earls of Orkney #OrkneyingaSaga. It doesn't quote any of his poetry, but his rollicking Jómsvíkingadrápa survives elsewhere. 🧵1/4

It's the Feast Day of St Rognvald, the Norwegian earl of Orkney who built our wonderful cathedral.

Hálfdan II and Eowils, joint kings of York, died in battle against Edward the Elder's West Saxon-Mercian levies near Teotanheale (Tettenhall, Wolverhampton) #OTD in 910. The deaths seem to have signalled the end of the Anglo-Danish Scalding dynasty. #medievalsky
