When constructions have been made on Hoy - the 'high island' - in Orkney there has been a longevity about them. Work on Dwarfie's Stane (below) relates to the era of 5000 years ago.
The house at Rackwick has been brought up-to-date, but probably was commenced a couple of hundred years in the past. Now there is talk of reviving the oil tanks built in the Hoy hillside for protection during
