In the visitor's center at Skara Brae there is a poem by George Mackay Brown on the wall. I loved it, and nearly took a photo, but though 'naaah, I'll easy find it on the 'net'.
And I can't!!
It speaks about "the lords of the Loch are quarrying to build a big circle" and "will the fishing be good?". It also mentions Maes Howe (I think) saying "A great one died". It's a fantastic poem written from the viewpoint of someone who lived in Skara Brae.
I'd love to have a copy if any-one here knows it, or can point me in the right direction.
Cheers!
