Thank you! I enjoyed them. For a moment I thought the arched doorway was made of white and dark bourbons... It's a stunning example of the ways different stones erode.

Thank you! :-)

wot no coos? :p

Also, what have those people in the truck been doing?

Now with added coos :-)

They are a bridal party, with the one at the head of the truck being the bride-to-be. It is an Orkney "blackening". On a previous trip to Orkney, the paper was full of complaints about a new police officer on the islands, who was trying to clamp down on it - evidently without success.
