	Orkneyjar - The Tale of the Copinsay Brownie
		The story of the Copinsay Brownie is set at a time when a solitary farmer was the only occupant of the island of Copinsay.
		Copinsay, which is now uninhabited, is a rocky little island, lying off the south-eastern shore of Deerness, the most easterly parish of the Orkney Mainland.
		The tale of the Copinsay Brownie has some remarkably similar traits with the Shetland folklore surrounding Broonie, the King of the Trows.

	Orkneyjar - Broonie the King of the Trows
		This little story was recorded in Shetland around 1888 and is interesting because of the obvious similarities it shares with the Orkney story of the Copinsay Brownie.
		In Shetland folklore, the creature known in Orkney as a hogboon seems to have become known as a "Broonie" - whether this is purely because of the influence of the Scottish domestic spirit - the brownie - or simply a corruption of the Norse element "bui" is not clear.
		The similarities between the tale of Hughbo the Copinsay Brownie and Broonie the King of Trowland, in particular the offence taken at receiving a cloak, would indicate that the two tales share a common ancestry.

		Copinsay lies 4 km off the east coast of Orkney mainland in northern Scotland.
		It consists of the island of Copinsay and three islets (Corn Holm, Ward Holm and Black Holm).

	Layback in the Orkney Islands
		Plan B was to hop along the coast and Lindisfarne, Eyemouth, Stonehaven, Peterhead and Wick we considered as stopover ports.
		Andy had the pleasure of seeing a magnificent sunset and the rising of the moon, plus several more schools of dolphins, which came and went as the evening went on.
		Our arrival was timed perfectly for the passage through The String, the narrow channel between Mainland Orkney and Shapinsay, where the tide runs at up to 6 knots and where overfalls can present a significant challenge in the wrong conditions.

	The Orcadian Features - A prescription for good health
		The Copinsay lighthouse was the very first I climbed, as a child.
		On one occasion I can recall enjoying our time on Copinsay when an eerie, white blanket of fog rolled across the surface of the sea, coming as if from nowhere, obliterating all the familiar landmarks and creating a frightening world of complete obscurity.
		It was many years later that I learned that local fishermen had taught Dad how to navigate between Copinsay and Deerness by looking at the changes in the seabed.
