  • Lobster fishing in Orkney on the island of North Ronaldsay, Scotland, UK.<br />
 Ian Delyell takes his North Ronaldsay Pram out to run his crab and lobster creels around the north coast of North Ronaldsay. Delyell is a crofter, meaning that he farms a bit, fishes a bit, and does other odd jobs to make ends meet on the tiny island (four miles by two miles.) He and his helper are pulling up single creels (mostly) that Delyell drops into single, special holes he knows about from decades of fishing (his father fished here before him.) He triangulates his position from landmarks on shore and "reads" the bottom to place he creels exactly. The get about a pound (Sterling) per kilo of crabs and about nine pounds per kilo of lobsters.

  • David Scott coaches his sons David, 16 and Douglas, 14 (the bigger of the two boys) in practice at the Sands of Wright on South Ronaldsay.  With the competition at the Gala several weeks away the fathers start getting their sons ready for the highly charged contest.  The boys are the third generation of Scotts who have been champions of the plowing, their father and grandfather have been champions as boys themselves.  Judging is on evenness of the furrows, etc.

  • Orkney farmer Ronald Simison in the Tomb of the Eagles holding one of the skulls he discovered during his excavation of the site.  He discovered the tomb in 1958 and excated it some 20 years later, tired of waiting for the officials to get around to the job.  Now he and his daughters have made a small business of the tomb, operating it as a hands-on museum.  It is on Isbister Farm on South Ronaldsay.  Eagle claws found with the skulls indicated the status of the people burried in the chambered cairn.

  • A family bible lies open in a deserted croft house on North Ronaldsay, the most remote of the Orkney Islands.  When crofters left (or were displaced by landowners) they often simply walked away, evidenced by the cups and saucers still sitting on the shelves.  The slate roof has fallen in letting in the rain and sunlight.
