  • Sheep and lambs graze by the Standing Stones of Stenness, one of several Orkney stone circles dating from before the time of Christ. The stones are in the protection of the National Trust for Scotland.  The sheep lend a touch of life and continuity to the ancient setting and are often the most memorable sight to the thousands of visitors who come the sight every year.  The Trust feels that the sheep cause no damage and belong in the landscape.  (But they still have a crew mow the grass regularly.)  Orkney, Scotland

  • Orkney potter and ardent student of archeology Andrew Appleby built a turf kilm at the Ness of Brodgar to fire some of the pots he as made using the patterns of Neolithic pottery found at the dig site. Appleby has done extensive research into the materials and methods Neolithic potters could have used to make their pottery. His kiln included the use of Bere barley husks to tamp down the fire, cattle bones to support the pottery and add heat to the fire, and grass to cap the kiln. Red hot pots can be seen emerging from the fires in the evening.
