The Anagram Victor

Many thanks for all of the delightfully weird anagrams you sent. Some of you cleverly used the letters in 'heart' or 'love' in your word play but we very strictly discounted those as we wished to change our banner to the winning re-shufflement which was:

Was Vic Here

A giant Orkney Archive & Library paperclip and pen shall be claimed by Andrew Marriot (@wet_kipper)

 on twitter who made us hoot with his four anagrams and reminded us of an 80s hit by Department S (See below...look at his hair! What a great coat!) Send us your details Andrew!

Honourable mention must be made to our fellow archivist at Balliol, @balliolarchives, who also sent us four anagrams with accompanying explanations.

For all of you who are champing at the bit to find out the answer to last week's puzzle, the answer is Graemeshall in Holm. Can you believe it? No? Here then is the proof, a small newspaper cutting pasted into Peace's Almanac on the back of the sketch.

Both the article and the sketch were pasted into Peace's Almanac next to an article about Graemeshall. They were found by one of our more eagle-eyed customers.

There are many interesting stories and articles in Peace's Almanac about Orkney and Orcadians alongside the facts, figures and trade directories, and they are always worth a look. Next time you visit the Orkney Room pull up a comfy leather armchair and enjoy some of these intriguing stories.
