stanger hill flotta

Some where in Lyness, I would think ?

Is that the toilets in the old war building on the hill above the Lyness pier, near the under ground tanks.

Back bar of Ola ?

Yup, The old WW11 signals station at Wee Fea. Looks like there is more than me that goes scratting about in old buildings. Found a sheep skeleton while poking around and nearly filled my boots wi skitter when a bird of some kind appeared from nowhere flapping aroond me head.

I it can be a scary place, we used to do BA practise in there many years ago, wae the local fire unit.

I Stewart hids no a place for the faint hearted bit a good laugh if you have someone with you that dosen't like the dark.Is the sheeps skeleton still stuck on the steps ootside? The last time I wis there a sheep had gotten hids leg trapped in a hole in the step, there was some flesh left on hid but no much.

Colin, the skeleton was laid out right in the middle of one of the big rooms near where the bogs are. Pitch black and only the torch on my phone to guide me. I think perhaps someone with a sense of humour has laid them oot like that. New trollies required. I hope there are no plans to pull it doon.
