  • The Kirk in the Garden of Evie
    THE KIRK IN THE GARDEN OF EVIE A Thumbnail Sketch of the History of the Church in Evie Trevor G Hunt Minister of the linked Churches of Evie, Firth and Rendall, Orkney First Published by Evie Kirk Session Evie, Orkney. 1987 Republished 1996 ComPrint, Orkney 908056 Forward to the 1987 Publication This brief history was compiled for the centenary of the present Evie Church building and I am indebted to all who have helped me in this work. I am especially indebted to the Kirk’s present Session Clerk, William Wood of Aikerness, who furnished useful local information, searched through old Session Minutes, and compiled the list of ministers for Appendix 3. Alastair Marwick of Whitemire, Clerk to the Board, supplied a good deal of literature, obtained a copy of the Title Deeds, gained access to the “Kirk aboon the Hill”, and conducted a tour (even across fields in his car) to various sites. He also contributed valuable local information and I am grateful for all his support. Thanks are also due to Margaret Halcro of Lower Crowrar, Rendall, for information about her name sake, and to the Moars of Crook, Rendall, for other Halcro family details. And to Sheila Lyon (Hestwall, Sandwick), who contributed information about Margaret Halcro (of the seventeenth century!). TREVOR G HUNT Finstown Manse March 1987 Foreword to the 1996 Publication Nearly ten years on seemed a good time to make this history available again, and to use the advances in computer technology to improve its appearance and to make one or two minor corrections.. I was also anxious to include the text of the history as a page on the Evie, Firth and Rendall Churches’ Internet site for reference and, since revision was necessary to do this, it was an opportunity to republish in printed form.

  • Late Norse High-Status Sites Around the Bay of Skaill, Sandwick, Orkney
    Late Norse high-status sites around the Bay of Skaill, Sandwick, Orkney James M. Irvine THE immediate hinterland of the Bay of Skaill in Orkney’s west Mainland is best known for the Neolithic village of Skara Brae, but it has a wealth of other early settlement and funerary sites, including at least two Iron Age brochs, while its Norse burial sites and ubiquitous place-names testify to its occupation during this period as well. Alas, the area was not mentioned in ‘Orkneyinga Saga’, and until recently no Norse settlement sites had been found, nor had much local history been published. However, there is now a growing corpus of multi-disciplinary research, notably two theses by Sarah Jane Gibbon née Grieve (1999, 2006), my own work on the Breckness estate (Irvine 2009a), and the major, on-going Birsay-Skaill Landscape Archaeology Project directed by David Griffiths of Oxford University (2005, 2006, 2011), coupled with the stimulus of the Research Agenda of The Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site (Historic Scotland 2008). This prompts consideration of when and why four high-status sites in this area, shown in Figure 1 – St. Peter’s Kirk, the Castle of Snusgar, Stove, and Skaill House – may have developed and interacted during the late Norse period.1 The objective of this paper is not to pre-empt the important archaeological findings of Griffiths and his colleagues, but to introduce some hypotheses that will hopefully help stimulate further historical research and discussion on this important area and period. St. Peter’s Kirk This building has been restored by the Scottish Redundant Churches Trust and its modern history recorded (Irvine 2003), but little is known of the early history of the site, and no archaeological work has been undertaken.
