The families visit Kirbister and Corrigall



The Taits, the Bains and the Sinclair family visit Kirbister and Corrigall Farm museums to experience for themselves what life must have been like in 1861.



After a morning's work around the farm making stooks and simmens, grinding bere and sweeping up, the families celebrated a good harvest with music, dancing and songs.

    What an interesting day - doing lots of jobs and learning new skills as well as an appreciation of old Orkney life.

    Great slide show - with super music.

    For some reason we can't see the photos or the video of the Corrigal visit.
    Good to be able to read Claire's story of their day.
