Had a quick browse whilst at the hospital visiting my dad. What caught my eye was a photo of the Ring of Brodger on the cover. There is a 20? page article on Orkney with many (as you would expect) excellent photographs. There is also a fold-out photo of the Ness of Brodger in the middle.

All I need to do now is check down the back of the sofa to find the whopping £5.50 it costs to buy the thing!

Well here is a cheap way of seeing the rather marvellous photos ;)

Have they got a visitor centre up there yet? When I was there 6 years ago they didn't even have a toilet, just a rough old car park with no facilities whatsoever!

Thanks for the heads up. Managed to find a copy today in the shops. Lovely photos. Makes me want to go back.
