Strange stones

Whilst renovating our house we found a strange stone buried in the floor. Does anyone know what it might be ?
Is it a sign?
Should we be worried ?

Trees on Shapinsay


Many people thought we were mad when we arrived on Shapinsay as we intended to plant trees on this windy island. Around the Castle on Shapinsay you can see a large number of trees so why not try.

We started with some willows and we planted 800 of these in a sheltered corner of our 8 acre field, Another 800 native Orkney trees were planted in the 3 acre field.

Its early days yet but the Willows are flourishing and hopefully next year we should be able to increase their numbers by using cuttings for replanting to increase the numbers and the rows , which make a good windbreak. As for the native trees they are also growing but at a slower rate than the willows. We shall see what the winter winds bring and hopefully even if its a small corner then we may see trees on Shapinsay.
