August holiday in Orkney Part 2

It was Sitkas birthday on the Monday so we headed back down to Mull Head in South Ronaldsay for a walk in the sunshine, first was a stop off at a collapsed sea cave the Gloup, then onto the Brough of Deerness to see the remains of the 10th century chapel.

After our walk we headed to the Kirk Gallery and Café, Lesley wanting a look at the Shelia Fleet Jewellery, me in need of a sandwich and  the best cup of tea anywhere, tea from the tlc company in St Andrews. After we were fed we headed over to Kirkwall for a wander and a look in the St Magnus Cathedral then the Earls Palace and Bishops House.
