Holm of Papa Westray South submitted by PAB on 22nd Jun 2016. Carved stone, South Cairn.
It is difficult to make out in detail from this picture (my other photos didn't come out!), but in the flesh there seemed to be potentially 2 animals depicted.
Hopefully someone will be able to get clearer images to post - it is now much easier to get there!
