A few photographs from today’s “Uranium Walk” led by ORCA’s Lifelong Learning and Outreach archaeologist Dan Lee and anthropologist Dr Richard Irvine from the University of St Andrews.
The walk, the latest event in the Orkney Energy Landscapes project, followed route walked in 1977 in protest of uranium mining proposals – from Yesnaby, Sandwick, to Kirbister in Stromness.
It was perhaps fitting that the weather conditions experienced today were much the same as they were back then – damp and misty…
Our thanks to everyone who turned out for today’s walk and the talk at Cairston Mill, Stromness, later in the afternoon.
