	Orkneyjar - Quoyness Cairn, Sanday
		The Quoyness chambered cairn in Sanday is yet another example of the Maeshowe-type cairns found in Orkney.
		The Quoyness structure is located on the peninsula known as Elsness in the Sanday parish of Cross.
		In all probability, Elsness was once an island, perhaps separated from the rest of Sanday by a shallow stretch of water.

		The island is one of many in Orkney known for its tranquillity, meaning that Sanday also offers great opportunities for any keen wildlife enthusiasts.

	The Fish Eaters of Viking Age Orkney
		In the case of Orkney, we now know that Middle to Late Iron Age sites yield only modest numbers of bones, most of which are from small fish easily caught from shore.
		Whatever the ultimate explanation for this development, it is likely to reflect Orkney's interdependence with the wider world of medieval Europe given the contemporary increase in sea fishing around the North Sea.
		This work is one example of the kind of specialist study both practiced and encouraged by Daphne Lorimer, and is thus dedicated to her on the occasion of her retirement.

		Some time before 1874 a farmer on Sanday, one of the larger islands of the Orkney group, uncovered a Viking burial with an iron sword, somewhere near the point of the Styes, on a peninsula in the middle of the west coast of the island.
		The Styes sword might well have been twice as long as it is at present, and some pieces of the blade may well have been overlooked by the finder.
		This adult human skull, with a piece cut out of one side, is also from Sanday in Orkney.
