One thing other folk won't make is 'George Castle' out of Reggo Scalter! Sorry about that. What I meant was Gregor Castle.
Incidentally 'Merryba' cropped up recently as the residence of the mystery photographer. Maybe an alternative spelling of Mariba - but it's not in Marwick's book either.

Reggo Scalter will be Reggo (Reginald) Slater from the farm of Trinnigarth; it will be Herbert Garson from Hestwall.

Scalter, Trinngarth & Garston are probably misprints. To a crossword addict the splendid name Reggo Scalter looks almost like an anagram (George Castle?). Boosebreck and Mariba aren't in Marwick's Orkney Farm-names but, of course, may not be farms.
I'll be keen to see what other folk (including the original contributor?) make of this.
