| Plan of old garden at Orphir House, Gyre. |
Well hello there archive-I-stumbled-upon-today! Could you delight us any more? I think not.
a) It is a beautiful spring day and you are a plan of trees and list of plants for the garden at Orphir House (which was rebuilt in 1886.)

b)You are the record of the
old garden, a garden past, which makes us feel mournful and wistful... which we love.

c) As great fans of
luuuurve, and romance the rubbings taken of initials carved into trees made us squeal with delight.

Well done Orkney Archive Reference D15/21/21. A sterling job.
The rubbings are so interesting! some of those carvers were very skilled. You must have been tickled pink when you found this treasure.
