Lots of photos to come , only the last lists HY2929 . All I can tell for sure is the system (as I call it) obviously precedes any Water Board by some margin . Some of it I can relate to other places in Orkney , but out here in the wilds of Harray it all comes together as an ensemble piece . And I can't understand why I can find no reference to it 'cos it's gorgeous . In places there appears to be modern underpinning to re-bolster bits but the rest appears all of a piece .
