Well done Gary - a veritable modern-day rune hunter! Can we identify all the rune authors? What was this building for? It was certainly a welcome shelter in a windy Orkney day. Don't know the answers but it would be nice to know them.

Yes, definitely the hut doon at the jitty in Evie. The 2 Norquays are nephews o' mine, as is Olaf Moar.

The building would probably have been something to do with the original wind turbine on Costa Hill.
