Short Eared Owl
I don't really do target species, and just like to be in the right place for the right shot. However, coming away from Orkney without photographing a Shortie could be a tad sad .. 365/22/123

This is OS mapping. In some areas, OpenStreetMap shows more footpaths
Spatial NI has online OSNI mapping. Click "Basemap Gallery" (4 squares icon at the top).
Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.

Please tag your photos and upload them to the British and Irish Mountains group on Flickr
The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

Orkney - Hilltop Cairn (at Keelylang Hill!)
Some broadcast engineer with time on his hands and a sense of humour has started a cairn behind the buildings on Keelylang Hill! Maybe to fool future archaeologists?

St Magnus Cathedral
St Magnus Cathedral known as the 'Light in the North' was founded in 1137 by the Viking, Earl Rognvald, in honour of his uncle St Magnus. The Cathedral belongs to the people of Orkney and its doors are open to all. The Cathedral, set in the heart of Kirkwall, the capital city of the Orkney Islands, is a place of stillness, of inspiration, of warmth, and is steeped in the presence of God.
