Somebody on another platform is #cycletouring Britain ticking off millennium mileposts. He's heading to #orkney now and trying to track down if the three indicated on thie map ever existed. Does anyone have any info or old pictures?

The Orkney Wireless Museum is an Aladdin’s Cave for anybody with an interest in how technology has developed in the last 100 years. On the outside, the premises seem small, but once inside the Kirkwall venue, it’s a treasure trove. I loved my visit to the Kirkwall volunteer-run initiative and heartily recommend it! #Orkney #OrkneyWirelessMuseum #Kirkwall #VisitOrkney #OrkneyLibrary https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/past-times/6743897/orkney-wireless-museum-audio-artefacts/

The magnificent St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney, started in 1137 by the Norse Earl Rognvald to celebrate the sainthood of his uncle, Earl Magnus, who had been killed in 1117. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kirkwall/stmagnus/index.html

@MichaelMaggs @ScottishPlaces Common good!
Still a lack of photos of the #Kirkwall Ba' Game...

People who post photos to Mastodon and Pixelfed might consider contributing photos to #WikimediaCommons during the "Wiki Loves Folklore 2025" project?
A lot of #ScottishCulture lacks photos - for example, as far as I can see, Commons and therefore #Wikipedia have no pictures of the Ba' Game from #Kirkwall.
