Together with picture #22817 two of the most interesting pics ever seen in the Orkney Image Library ... especially this unusual kind of "waterpipe" leading to something like a "watertank".
Any details known about the location ?

These two photos (22818 and 22817) were taken at Strathore Farm in Shapinsay by Harry Russell senior, where he worked as Farm Servant as a young man. He was obviously good with the camera as well as a good Farmer, especially with Horses. Added by Phil Brough.

... seems to be identical with canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/2417/details/strathore/ ... although there are no published pics on the net ... very interesting
