										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-and-fidra.png" alt="" width="564" height="416" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1442" srcset="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-and-fidra.png 564w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-and-fidra-300x221.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /></p>
<p>Ich war sehr glücklich letzten Monat. Lily eine von meinen besten Freundinnen hat mich besucht. Sie hat über ihre Erlebnisse geschrieben.</p>
<p>“ Besonders im Englischen ist der Begriff „Gemeinschaft“, oder besser gesagt „<a href="https://orkneycommunitytransportorganisation.com/octos-charity-partner/">community</a>“, momentan ein echtes Buzzwort. Er wird wie mit dem Salzstreuer verteilt, und zwar von allen und überall, von der Krabbelgruppe bis zum Finanzmagazin, und scheint anzukommen. Echten Gemeinschaftssinn kann es aber auch dort geben, wo er nicht groß angepriesen wird. Wie zum Beispiel unter den Menschen im orkadischen Hauptort Kirkwall.</p>
<p>Ich habe keine soziologische Studie unternommen, und beziehe mich hier auch auf keine von anderen, aber es ist schon einleuchtend, dass Zusammenhalt und Austausch besonders wichtig für Menschen sind, die auf abgelegenen Inseln mit kargem Boden und umgeben von rauer See leben. Mir scheint dies mehr als nur ein Klischee zu sein; mein Eindruck von Orkney war es allemal.</p>
<p>Wir verließen Kirkwall gegen Mittag und fuhren zuerst durch ein sympathisches Dorf namens Finstown (dessen lokaler Gasthof gerade auf eine neue Übernahme wartet!), von dem aus man einen guten Blick auf das Gut Binscarth hat, das einem Laird gehört. Wie Fidra mir (<a href="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/tours/german-tour-orkney/">auf deutsch!</a>) erklärte, ist „Laird“ ein Titel für einen Landbesitzer in Schottland, der im Besitz feudaler Rechte ist und zum niederen Landadel zählt. Reisen bildet!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-at-standing-stones-of-stenness.png" alt="" width="515" height="591" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1444" srcset="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-at-standing-stones-of-stenness.png 515w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-at-standing-stones-of-stenness-261x300.png 261w" sizes="(max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px" /><br />
Unsere erste Station war ein uralter Steinkreis unweit eines Bauernhofes, bekannt als Stehende Steine von Stenness, oder Standing Stones of Stenness (Wenn das mal kein Zungenbrecher ist!). Es kann einen nur beeindrucken, wenn man bedenkt, dass Menschen vor tausenden Jahren bereits in der Lage waren, solche Projekte für rituelle Zwecke in Angriff zu nehmen – rein handwerklich, aber auch planerisch und was Ressourcen angeht. Umso mehr erstaunt es, dass die Standing Stones nicht immer von allen Einheimischen wertgeschätzt wurden, und ein benachbarter Bauer vor Jahren einige Steine gesprengt haben soll.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-at-ring-of-brodgar.png" alt="" width="474" height="374" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1443" srcset="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-at-ring-of-brodgar.png 474w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lily-at-ring-of-brodgar-300x237.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px" /><br />
Noch beeindruckender fand ich den zweiten Steinkreis zu dem wir im fuhren – den Ring of Brodgar, der eigentlich aus einem inneren und einem äußeren Ring besteht. An jenem Tag konnte man den inneren leider nicht betreten, weil der Boden nicht überfordert werden durfte. Dies regt einem zum nachdenken darüber an, wie viel Wertschätzung in Form von Besuch eine historische Stätte aushalten kann. Ebenso interessant ist die Überlegung, wann eine Schmiererei zum Kulturgut wird. Die Orkney Inseln wurden nämlich über Jahrhunderte von verschiedenen Völkern geprägt, und ein Wikinger namens Björn ritzte seinen Namen in einen der Steine von Brodgar – damals war es nichts als ein Graffiti, heute ist es für uns ein historischer Hinweis, eine Bereicherung des Rings und Teil der orkadischen Kultur. Beide Steinkreise sind in jedem Fall in ihrer heutigen Form sehr beeindruckend und haben fast etwas von einer menschlichen Kongregation, so wie sie da gemeinsam stehen, von Wind, Wetter und Zeit unbeirrt.</p>
<p>Eine weitere Geschichte jahrtausendealter Zivilisation erzählt das neusteinzeitliche Dorf Skara Brae, das wir als nächstes aufsuchten. Es wurde behutsam ausgegraben und kann gut besichtigt werden, solange man einigermaßen trittsicher ist. Vor Skara Brae der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wurde, diente es auch einmal quasi als Abenteuerspielplatz für die Kinder eines benachbarten Adelsguts, wie Fidra zu berichten wusste. Skara Brae liegt unmittelbar neben einem idyllischen Sandstrand, der auch ein paar Minuten der leisen Bewunderung verdient.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/skara-1.jpg" alt="" width="1052" height="592" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-169" srcset="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/skara-1.jpg 1052w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/skara-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/skara-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/skara-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/skara-1-600x338.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1052px) 100vw, 1052px" /><br />
Ich will gar nicht verschweigen, dass der Wind an jenem Tag recht heftig war. Es war daher eine Wohltat, nach Skara Brae ein stattliches Anwesen namens Skaill House zu besichtigen, und zwar von innen. Auch dort konnte Fidra wieder mehrere Anekdoten zum besten geben. Der Legende nach saß die Königin Mutter wenn sie zum Essen kam immer mit dem Rücken zum Fenster, buchstäblich um ihr Gesicht ins beste Licht zu rücken, und verzichtete dafür auf eine idyllische Sicht auf sattgrüne Wiesen. Im kleinen Salon im ersten Stock des Skaill House wohnt außerdem der Zwillingsbruder des berühmten Tigerteppichs aus „Dinner for One“.</p>
<p>Für mich war dies wirklich der perfekte Start für meinen Orkney-Aufenthalt, an den ich gerne zurück denke, und der mir später noch einige weitere Beispiele des orkadischen Gemeinschaftssinns aufgezeigt hat. Ich denke etwa daran, wie wohlwollend ich zu einem Webkreis in der Loom Room- Werkstatt aufgenommen wurde, oder wie großzügig Mitfahrgelegenheiten angeboten werden, und wie eine Bekannte Fidras mich wie selbstverständlich mit gesamter Tauchausrüstung und Profitipps ausstattete, vor wir zur Umschwimmung eines Schiffswracks aufbrachen.</p>
<p>Schreiben könnte ich über jene Tage noch eine Weile, aber dieser Blog-Eintrag scheint mir schon lang genug – es bleibt mir zu hoffen, dass ich ihnen meine Begeisterung für Orkney nahebringen konnte, und dass Sie selbst bald selbst dorthin aufbrechen werden!”</p>
<p>Vielen dank für deinen Besuch Lily! &#8211; Fidra 🙂</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last week I attended my first trade expo &#8211; the 2019 Visit Scotland Expo in Glasgow!</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Hazel-Fidra-Visit-Scotland-Expo-2019.jpg" alt="fidra and hazel in uniform at the visit scotland expo 2019" width="2000" height="1730" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1346" srcset="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Hazel-Fidra-Visit-Scotland-Expo-2019.jpg 2000w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Hazel-Fidra-Visit-Scotland-Expo-2019-300x260.jpg 300w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Hazel-Fidra-Visit-Scotland-Expo-2019-768x664.jpg 768w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Hazel-Fidra-Visit-Scotland-Expo-2019-1024x886.jpg 1024w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Hazel-Fidra-Visit-Scotland-Expo-2019-600x519.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was there to represent <a href="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/about/">OHT</a> alongside our tour provider’s (<a href="https://orkneycommunitytransportorganisation.com/">OCTO</a>) Manager Hazel. This opportunity was provided via <a href="https://www.orkney.com/destination-orkney">Destination Orkney</a>. They are an umbrella organisation which supports those “with an interest in the successful and sustainable development, management and marketing of Orkney as a visitor destination.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Destination Orkney</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are 500 members of Destination Orkney which shows that despite being a relatively small community, we are very busy! Since coming to Orkney I have benefited from their work through networking and access to training workshops. I particularly enjoyed their <a href="https://www.orkney.com/events/autumn-tourism-week-2018">Autumn Tourism Week</a> which was a great introduction to key sustainability issues faced by different sectors in Orkney. This was great timing for me peek behind the curtain into how things work here, which would have been hard otherwise as most visitor sites close for the chilly winter! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Expo Experience</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the Expo’s bustling hall, it’s hard to stand out. Destination Orkney managed with a custom booth displaying Orkney’s most iconic sites which drew many compliments. Hazel and I found our visitors to be already enthralled with Orkney, yet they were still impressed with all there is to do and see up here.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Orkney-expo-stand.jpg" alt="destination Orkney stand at visit scotland expo 2019 decorated with images of iconic orkney sites " width="1280" height="900" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1345" srcset="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Orkney-expo-stand.jpg 1280w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Orkney-expo-stand-300x211.jpg 300w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Orkney-expo-stand-768x540.jpg 768w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Orkney-expo-stand-1024x720.jpg 1024w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Orkney-expo-stand-600x422.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was great to work alongside <a href="https://www.orcadian.co.uk/orkney-interest-unsurpassed-at-major-tourism-trade-show/">Elaine Tulloch (CEO), Kathleen Hogarth and Gareth Chrichton (Chair)</a>. Their knowledge and passion for Orkney really shone through throughout the busy days. Through them and our visitors I learned a lot about the travel trade. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/DestinationOrkney-CEO-chair.jpg" alt="Destination Orkney CEO Ms Tulloch chair Mr Chrichton and travel trade consultant Ms Hogarth" width="600" height="518" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1347" srcset="https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/DestinationOrkney-CEO-chair.jpg 600w, https://orkneyheritagetours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/DestinationOrkney-CEO-chair-300x259.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the expo 340 businesses, regional groups, charitable organisations etc were represented. I was amazed with the creativity of some of the stands and the overall range of places and products on show. It was great to meet people and share our love of Orkney with potential visitors.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Greetings from the mysterious isles of Orkney! Let me introduce myself, my name is Fidra. My namesake is also <a href="http://www.goeastlothian.com/city/east-lothian/things-to-do/fidra-island/">an island</a>, in the much more southerly waters of the Firth of Forth. Like my namesake, I am not an Orcadian. I grew up in the scenic hills of Perthshire and recently arrived on Orkney’s shores to work for the community interest company OCTO as Graduate Travel Development Coordinator. </span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Working for a Community Interest Company?</strong></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m helping the Orkney Community Transport Organisation build their online presence, plan exciting tours and support their work in many more ways. OCTO works as a community interest company, meaning that their profits support a local charity &#8211; the Orkney Disability Forum. OCTO also provides high quality tours around the top sites of the islands through Orkney Heritage Tours, those profits also support ODF. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the next wee while I’ll be updating the wider world on my experiences and what I learn about Orkney as I go. Watch this space!</span></p>

<p class="partial_entry">Orkney Heritage Tours is the place to contact so you can visit the Ness of Brodgar with an archaeological guide. Unfortunately this is not clearly explained on trip advisor. Although you can visit the site of the Ness of Brodgar on your own, I highly recommend this small group tour with a guide and transportation from Kirkwall three times per day during July and August. This should be the #1 rated historical site in Orkney! The Ness is an ancient site that was either a marketplace or religious center just a stones throw from the ring of Brodgar and Maeshowe. People of all ages can enjoy this tour and there is no physically demanding terrain. It&#8217;s very windy so dress warm.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had our first tour of Tunes, Tastes and Ancient Sites with some lovely guests from the cruise ship Norwegian Jade. The Barony Mill were very accommodating fitting us in before their film crew arrived with celebrity cook, James Martin. This was followed by beautiful music from Emma and Andrew from Skeldro, what a treat for everyone while we had a light lunch including bere bannocks and bere shortbread in the Birsay Hall. Thank you to Orkney Blide Trust for supplying the soup, this is a mental health charity doing a lot of good work locally. Then off to Skara Brae and a cheeky unscheduled stop at Yesnaby before the Standing Stones of Stenness. Really like this tour and it seemed to go down very well with our guests.</p>
<div class="_5pbx userContent _3576" data-ft="{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}">
<p>Our next tour will be on Sunday 10th June. Our 16 seat minibus will leave Kirkwall Travel Centre at 9.15 am. This may suit visitors from Cruise liners, Silver Cloud, AIDAluna or Silver Spirit.</p>
