Disused kirk, Rousay

'Last year - Aug 2004, I went to Rousay for the first time. It started off a fogy morning - but the sun did eventually burn through, leaving us with a great day.'

This kirk is on the Westness Walk, and I'm sure has some Clearance story associated with it.

Hi do any of the graves have the orbituaries of anyone who lived at Pow, Rousay?

David - You can do no better than visit Robert C Marwick's website:- www.rousayroots.com. Among other items of interest regarding Rousay history is a link to inscriptions on headstones located in the island's seven kirkyards.
