Picture the scene. It's 1901. It's Paris. You make a bet with some friends that you could walk around the world, funding the entire trip by selling postcards featuring photos of YOURSELF. You set off. This is the story of Charles Millot. Read it now at: orkneyarchive.blogspot.com

It's Monday night and it's #midsummer so it's time for a special edition of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 11.30pm this week?' You are not going to believe this, but it's the #SummerSolstice, there's absolutely no wind, and it's STILL THIS LIGHT! 💡❤️
Etherley Jackson retweeted
New fear unlocked. 😱 The life of an Archivist is wild. One minute you're merrily scanning through a folder of old photographs, the next you've uncovered something like this and it feels you're starring in the pre-title sequence of a 70s horror movie.

We are CLOSED on Monday 6th April for #EasterMonday. This year the staff are all heading across to Copinsay lighthouse for our annual reenactment of The Rock. It's my turn to be Sean Connery. See you all when we've stopped Ed Harris and his men* *next week Happy Easter! 🐣
The sunsets are getting better again in #Orkney

Our Archive has just posted a new Blog post, written by guest blogger Joan, about the transcription of 17th century documents concerning the merchant and privateer Captain Peter Winchester. You can read it (and all their other fascinating blog posts) at: orkneyarchive.blogspot.com/2026/01/pigtai…
Darn. Ordered salad in a restaurant, fogetting that I can't eat salad in a dignified way.

It's 16 minutes past 3. The sun has set in #Orkney. Just 6 hours and 19 minutes of daylight today. We are almost at the shortest day but there will still be 9 minutes less daylight on the #WinterSolstice. And then the light returns. 💡
#StormBram is just relentless out there. I can't get over to sleep.
@Duffy_theBear That's alot for a little bear. ❤️
Fantastic news!

It's a little known fact that Otis Redding spent time in Hoy, #Orkney during the 1920s while engineer Ernest Cox carried out salvage work on the scuttled German fleet, as shown in this photograph. Otis was often seen sitting on the dock in Mill Bay, watching the tide roll away.
