After a dull morning at Cuween Hill, Ronnie and I took advantage of some afternoon brightness to go in search of outcropping quartz near the Tomb of the Eagles.

After dawn at Cuween Hill this morngin, continuing clear skies over Orkney encouraged Ronnie and I to visit the Tomb of the Eagles in the afternoon.

Success! After yesterdays journey through stormy seas to Orkney, Ronnie and I watched a stunning sunrise this morning from inside the Tomb of the Eagles.

After monitoring the weather forecasts over the past week, Ronnie Scott and myself have arrived in Orkney. Early tomorrow morning we hope to undertake sunrise observations inside the Neolithic chamber cairn of Isbister, also known as Tomb of the Eagles.
