I have 15 calendars left of the first batch, ready for immediate dispatch. If you would like one drop me a message or email with your address. A year in the life of a small island in the North.

Found in the Kirk yard at St Boniface during the digging of a grave, this early Christian incised cross is on display in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Dating back to the 7th century, providing circular evidence of migration, travel and change in our islands.

The first proof copy of my Papay Island Calendar 2025 has arrived. Here is a quick run through of the monthly highlights! Taking preorders now for either A4 or A3 sizes, the size refers to the image so 2 x A4 or A3 when folded out.

Drop me a message or email, text or WhatsApp if you would like one. A4 is £17.50 inc uk postage, A3 is £25 inc uk postage. Any folk from further afield I can get a postage quote for you.. Thanks for looking.

For the folk who have already ordered, you are in the book so need need to order again, unless you would like more copies of course.

A few highlights from this weekend on Papay. Sun bows, Snowflakes, big seas in the North, reflections on Sanderlings and Ringed plovers.

Just to confuse things a little further, I am doing a purely birds calendar for 2025 too. Here it is, just some of the wonderful birds to see through the year.

There will be an A4 edition, and a special A3 edition too. Printed on high gloss quality paper.
Price for the A4 is the same as before £17.50 inc postage and packing to Uk address, anyone in the wider world get in touch for a quote.
The A3 one will be £25 inc postage and packing, again UK address, get in touch if you are somewhere else.

Images are all taken by me on Papay, and will each have their own caption, sometimes poetic, sometimes factual.

If you want to pre-order one then drop me a message here, email me, whatsapp me etc.. All payment options open, I won't take any payment until calendar is despatched, just so I can get an idea of numbers to order. (obvs if anybody wants one!!)

Hope you like the chosen images.

So, this is the promo for my Papay Ranger Island Calendar 2025. A blend of landscapes and wildlife through the year. All photos taken roughly in the month they are situated, and within the last year.

There will be an A4 edition (same as before) and a special A3 edition too. Printed on high gloss quality paper.

Price for the A4 is the same as before £17.50 inc postage and packing to Uk address, anyone in the wider world get in touch for a quote.

The A3 one will be £25 inc postage and packing, again UK address, get in touch if you are somewhere else.

I have also done a purely 'Birds of Papay' calendar too, I will unleash that one on the world tomorrow evening..

Images in both are all taken by me, and will each have their own caption, sometimes poetic, sometimes factual.

If you want to pre-order one then drop me a message here, email me, whatsapp me etc.. All payment options open, I won't take any payment until calendar is despatched, just so I can get an idea of numbers to order. (obvs if anybody wants one!!)

Hope you like the chosen images.

I am busy scratching my head about images for my Papay calendar 2025. I have a feeling this one will be one of the 12 chosen. Thinking mostly landscape with a few special birds in the mix, or a calendar for island views and one for birds? Hopefully I can whittle them down and they will be up for pre-order at the weekend.

It’s the Papay premiere of The Outrun this evening. The culmination of years of hard work and although a tough story, that needs to be told, it is also a testament to the restorative powers of nature, landscape, islands and the communities that live on them. Go and see the film if you can, Papay on the big screen!!

12/09/2024

If you happen to be in Montrose this coming weekend, there is a special screening of our Cassie Wall film - Between Seas (is-land). Directed by Saoirse Higgins, with a cast of Papay islanders working hard. The film is being screened on Saturday at 12pm and is part of the Montrose LandxSea Film Fest programme, with lots of other coastal films on show too.

Promo link to the film: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TuExtecFRIg&list=PLOAn9SVhPOz0I0OKjbXNEu92ytCPXaB36&index=1&pp=gAQBiAQB

This project was funded by the North Isles Landscape Partnership and Historic Environment Scotland.

We have taken the last of our bookings for 2024 for the boat trips out to the Holm of Papay. The trips will start again next May, we look forward to taking folk over once again to see the neolithic burial cairns and for the total marooned experience.

A big thank you to Neil of Holland for allowing us access to this magical island and to all the folk we have taken over this year.

The boat trips are a Papay Development Trust run service so provide valuable income to the trust and the two skippers.

09/09/2024

There or here, and back again. A weekend of Haar, aurora, an event for the Orkney science festival, and the journey to and fro. Till next time.

For the early birds, still dreaming of being night owls.
Aurora borealis over Papay last night/this morning.

A golden evening, after the day blew itself to a standstill.

With the gales, came the Gannets.
Solan goose off the New pier today.

11/08/2024

Pier pleasure before my last Holm trip of the season.

Trips to the Holm will be taken by the capable hands of skipper Tim Dodman for the rest of the season, bookings still taken by me.

The birds see, what the eyes believe.

St Tredwell's Chapel, a 12th century early christian settlement, built on an iron age broch. Set on a mound within an island amphitheater.

A pilgrimage.
