It's due any minute now...
Grandfather clock-face - 'John Miller, Stromness', used to indicate the arrival time of St Ola and hung in the harbour office window in the 1960s. The words 'St. Ola due' painted, and wooden hands attached.

However, Buddo's been caught outside in a snowstorm so is feeling a bit cold and wet at the moment. ❄️ tinyurl.com/52uy777j
Front of A6 greeting card of 'The Skara Brae Buddo'. 'Buddo' (Budd-oh) is a whalebone figurine found at Skara Brae, Orkney in the 1860's. The Skara Brae Buddo is in elite company. Dating to circa 2,900 – 2,400 BC, it is just one of a handful of known figurines from the whole of the British Neolithic. Buddo is on permanent display in Stromness Museum.
