Billy Jolly was a folk festival stalwart and Dave Gray was the voice of Radio Orkney. Both will be greatly missed by many. Our photographic archive yielded some photos of Billy as 1979 New Years Day Men's Ba' winner and playing music with wife Ingirid. We also found a lovely photo of Dave Gray as a lad in the mobile library van. The Sound Archive holds recordings of both men, so Orkney will always be able to hear them.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

From other research we know that Magnus had an older brother, James, who was 78 in 1668, so we think Magnus would have been mid-seventies in 1660. He is described as skipper and burgess. Skipper means he was captain of a ship, burgess means he was able to trade in the burgh of Kirkwall. Magnus' brother John is also mentioned towards the end of the document as a witness. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #444444;">Other names shown are Patrick Watterstoun, minister in Orphir, his deceased father Michael and Patrick's wife Barbara Henrysone.

David Moncrieff another skipper and his brother Harry. David Anderson was the notary public who wrote the document on behalf of Magnus Baikie. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #444444;">The most fun name for us in this document is John Skarlett, skipper in Kirkwall and tenant of Magnus Baikie.

commissioned an artist friend to create a festive design. This
depicted his family feasting and raising their glasses in a toast, while around
the edges people were shown engaging in charitable acts of giving. This
dichotomy seems rather odd, and a few Victorian eyebrows were also raised at
the scandalous depiction of children imbibing glasses of wine. Not
much worse than me wrangling a Snowball from my son’s grasp at a recent
Christmas party, or the Great Babycham Scandal of 1979, when Grandma wondered
where her perry had gone…</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB">Unfortunately, we don’t have any of these very
early Christmas cards, but we are lucky that Colonel Henry Halcro Johnston kept
many cards he received over a 50-year period. </span>Henry was born in 1856 and the earliest Christmas related item we found in his papers (D15/39) is not a card, but a Rebus, named after Scotland's famous literary Detective Inspector. We knew Ian Rankin was a clever chap, but didn't imagine time travel to be in his skill set. This picture puzzle story was given to Henry when he
was six, from John, his elder brother. Sadly, we have only half of it, the top of

been accompanied by a letter reporting the sender’s news. Cards featuring
unseasonal flowers were common in the 1870s, bringing some colour and joy in
the depth of the dark, dreary winter. </span>They may also have conveyed a specific sentiment, and while a

from the local drama club, and sent them ahead on the boat.
I arrived to find the children playing a favourite game around the
school, which was to hide a thumb-sized cutout of Dr Garvie for the
others to find. They were excellent at finding very tricky hiding
places! As I joined in, I realised that this was the same game I had
been playing since this research project began. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkOhORNKboSbJDRRnm2ZFCt73Em90mor4USrHwKuu1AQHFlQBdeNBeJWPE67-rLTEt06NH-UBiynwL9dJ1urqiPiL4CpjEa4lcu_bdrjpYIzEoYUVuDp_Kbxfdi2-ZvLHlmVRFxSmuYb1ff_w4vQEQ9h7FlzmqUmj3pOT1gvlA8_ZZEPNLP_akVyi/s4032/find%20the%20garvie.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkOhORNKboSbJDRRnm2ZFCt73Em90mor4USrHwKuu1AQHFlQBdeNBeJWPE67-rLTEt06NH-UBiynwL9dJ1urqiPiL4CpjEa4lcu_bdrjpYIzEoYUVuDp_Kbxfdi2-ZvLHlmVRFxSmuYb1ff_w4vQEQ9h7FlzmqUmj3pOT1gvlA8_ZZEPNLP_akVyi/w300-h400/find%20the%20garvie.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> Once we had loaded up the kelp barrow with the

One of the children commented ‘that means that baby night have waited months to see what he looked like!’ <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>So, that’s what’s been happening on the island. Meanwhile, there have been some other exciting
developments.</p><p>I was continuing to work with Beatrice Thomson, captioning all of the Garvie photographs from
North Ronaldsay; more than 500 of them. It’s not always possible to tell who and where the
photographs were taken, but with patience and cross referencing, we are getting there. Many
interesting stories later, we have now completed the first draft of the captions, and are working on
the finished document. </p><p>That kind of close-looking also reveals more and more.</p><p>I noticed the pinnie fabrics that the women were wearing. Bright and colourful, perhaps put on
especially for the photograph, there was a whole world of pinnies that I hadn’t been aware of. I
realised that these garments are often overlooked, although they would have been important as
practical work garments, and, through choice of pattern and style, an important means of self
expression too.</p><p> Then, one day, I noticed a tiny shadow of a camera, in a group shot that included Beatrice
Garvie…. The first clue to the actual camera that she used… Could I somehow identify it? </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2QVYPhx20Xo-zK3zeoi_y6iuP0GmG-1UFGcKnHz_KyHxbDuSdVpf2KudZNsUYJlDEpmeTqJXdQou8p7rMuCiWiI7wH-pOfOcm5EzgWxVEhww0w5NW4A8STzrQ63D_TskgaVaOmHqqgwmzENwBVPdjhmEzneiazns4d4aTwQDCg4RBCXFje7dwXBH/s4032/Group.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2QVYPhx20Xo-zK3zeoi_y6iuP0GmG-1UFGcKnHz_KyHxbDuSdVpf2KudZNsUYJlDEpmeTqJXdQou8p7rMuCiWiI7wH-pOfOcm5EzgWxVEhww0w5NW4A8STzrQ63D_TskgaVaOmHqqgwmzENwBVPdjhmEzneiazns4d4aTwQDCg4RBCXFje7dwXBH/w400-h300/Group.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> Further, I had come across a tantalising ‘Garvie’ post on an ‘Ancestry’ website… a living Garvie! I
sent a message out into the ether, and hoped that this would be a Garvie family member who
would want to respond. </p><p>Time passed.</p><p> In a marvellous rush of events, all the detective work began to find its reward. </p><p><b>‘Strong, forthright, cantankerous’</b></p><p>
First, a great niece of Dr Garvie got in touch, and agreed to have a conversation on Zoom. Three
generations of them came along! The Zoom screen was a mosaic of Garvie genes. </p><p>They told me they knew very little of their great aunt, other than that she was a doctor, and that
they had never met.</p><p> I was delighted that they were so intrigued to hear about her Orkney connections, to hear some of
what I had discovered, to learn that she had been a photographer, and to actually see some of her
work.</p><p> I described what I had learned about her from Ann Marwick’s peerless sound recordings, and
from islanders’ recollections of her; and asked, did she sound like a typical Garvie? ‘Yes’ came
the reply from Grace; ‘Strong, forthright, cantankerous, she would have fitted right in!’.</p><p> <b>Spreading the word </b></p><p> It began to feel like it was time to spread the word of this story further, and I was unsure of what
to do next. I felt really proud of the work I had done, particularly what had happened with the
school on the island. But I knew that the quality of the photographs needed greater recognition,
and the story of her life did feel too remarkable for it not to be known. And what if, by spreading
the word, it might be that other collections of her work beyond North Ronaldsay might appear? </p><p>I first showcased some of the photographs in ‘Holm Sound’, a series of Orkney based online
broadcasts. </p><p>Then, there was an opportunity to take part in a podcast series, called ‘Unforgotten Highland
Women’. This positioned her alongside a diverse set of very remarkable women. It also gave me
some good practice at telling the story so far.</p><p> It felt essential that the Garvie family should be there, as well as the school, to share the story
from their own perspectives, and Lucy from the Orkney Archive had also agreed to join in.
This podcast will air sometime early in 2023.</p><p> At one point in the podcast, I showed the photo in which Dr Garvie is holding her camera.
Sharon Elliott, the twice great niece of Dr. Garvie said, ‘I’ve got a surprise’. </p><p>She brought out a Voigtlander ‘Brilliant’ camera that had belonged to her Great Grandfather.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyx_0vLwyXm4r2-sWUKTz8TgOWAA3NoysA2_-pgD7TaUKS5KqiFLk_oLdGO-erSEwyxG2gjxA_urz7_NIS5ubijIttsQPrS8QWoOpsc1osucEqFm1OfbUmXrc0fzp8JzwvcIk9xojyFMZJKA18C2KU6Tw4br1qlImEoL3rYHOlQBWnvkWBaa21bQI/s2880/camera.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="2880" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyx_0vLwyXm4r2-sWUKTz8TgOWAA3NoysA2_-pgD7TaUKS5KqiFLk_oLdGO-erSEwyxG2gjxA_urz7_NIS5ubijIttsQPrS8QWoOpsc1osucEqFm1OfbUmXrc0fzp8JzwvcIk9xojyFMZJKA18C2KU6Tw4br1qlImEoL3rYHOlQBWnvkWBaa21bQI/w400-h250/camera.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Sharon reveals a camera from her family’s collection</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p> There it was. An unmistakable match. Dr Garvie may have used more than one kind of camera in
her work, but here was a definite ID of the one she is holding in this picture. </p><p>I was very happy with that outcome, as in
months of searching for 1930s cameras online,
and despite the help of local photographers, I
had got nowhere.</p><p> The Voigtlander ‘Brilliant’ camera was a very
popular model in the 1930s. The most basic
model had just three settings each for focus,
aperture and shutter speed. The ‘Compur’ which
is I think the one used by Dr Garvie, is a little
more sophisticated, allowing for more successful
hand held photography, since the shutter speeds
are faster. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIHEeaQUrFPIgkrPDizJME5EL4sM4Okwyk63SurDgpS8RNhmbfXloDQYz6V9Ef4uVyV6V-goG9Jx9jw5VH50J50nX7f4LIlya8u9a4gogrnKkfnf1gxDMg6_HUk-o4BNIhqxPO7RaQuy5FPnR0zoVv3T80tSN8QXe-_hukiVkqnL5PHkBshM8J4aam/s1248/Group%202.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1248" data-original-width="648" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIHEeaQUrFPIgkrPDizJME5EL4sM4Okwyk63SurDgpS8RNhmbfXloDQYz6V9Ef4uVyV6V-goG9Jx9jw5VH50J50nX7f4LIlya8u9a4gogrnKkfnf1gxDMg6_HUk-o4BNIhqxPO7RaQuy5FPnR0zoVv3T80tSN8QXe-_hukiVkqnL5PHkBshM8J4aam/w208-h400/Group%202.jpg" width="208" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Close-up of Dr Garvie with camera</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p>With Colin’s help, from the Archive, I’ve been
learning to use these cameras, and now have
three in working condition. I’m looking forward to
using them in the next stage of this project.
Wouldn’t it be great to get those cameras taking
pictures back on North Ronaldsay?</p><p> They had a first outing very recently, when Fenella and Fiona, sisters in the Garvie family, and
great nieces of Beatrice, came up to visit Orkney. They met with Beatrice Thomson, the archivists
who have been involved in the story so far, and with myself. We spent an afternoon looking
through the Dr Garvie photo albums, and then Colin took us all outside to record the visit on the
Voigtlander. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFe5AfYgq2FskGINvGqqx_gwGOIECPonJUEz6Fw6dScM20TlIrAyiPkUir5Dj0lsUF4OtxjAMHz0GBfiAI_IckshwmbxxVDOr3ei4NJAyEotWzXFJYKt-dkq7wlKtU8iENePNRFvMvPbS_SpxKzuRkT32uCwOnG6fSw3nDQAHh-6KmK_vlINdsZN1h/s3024/Beatrice%20and%20co%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFe5AfYgq2FskGINvGqqx_gwGOIECPonJUEz6Fw6dScM20TlIrAyiPkUir5Dj0lsUF4OtxjAMHz0GBfiAI_IckshwmbxxVDOr3ei4NJAyEotWzXFJYKt-dkq7wlKtU8iENePNRFvMvPbS_SpxKzuRkT32uCwOnG6fSw3nDQAHh-6KmK_vlINdsZN1h/s320/Beatrice%20and%20co%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p> It felt like a very satisfying completion.</p><p>Finally, another very pleasing outcome: An enquiry from Dr. Jenny Brownrigg, exhibition curator at the Glasgow School of Art.
She said she was putting together an exhibition of ‘Scottish Women Photographers’, and hoped
to come to the Orkney Archive to see the Beatrice Garvie photographs with a view to her inclusion
in the exhibition.</p><p> This exhibition is called ‘Glean: Early twentieth century women film makers and photographers’, it
takes place at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh, between November 2022 and March 2023. </p><p> Jenny Brownrigg’s estimation of the quality of Dr
Garvie’s photographic work was wonderful to hear. She
gave me insights into the strength of her camera work,
particularly the capturing of movement, and her noticing
of form in her composition. </p><p>She also gave me more of a context to understand the
work, given that many of the women photographers of
the time would have come from very privileged
backgrounds, and had independent means. Dr Garvie
was singular in ‘paying her own way’.</p><p> Jenny Brownrigg agreed it was likely that Dr Garvie was
an experienced photographer before she came to the
island. A clue to this is found in the print marks on the
back of her photographs, that show she used a place in
Oxford to develop her work.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6KWzv0Y5_iwm7qHPExSiWF88xoa_mFZI2PlSFCCj95n-5OzozQd8Zu-U94RRzv62d8kR_89Td2Uj71QfdW4BnW4TWk5Cc61u0assMvAd8NMGjk-rhw_q3RASTsQp_nj_UrsIVtZxBxnVhUIGFnfp55rjDeSgnTNwIJRngcbhd5aY_HtdRymXM96bf/s4032/magna%20print.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6KWzv0Y5_iwm7qHPExSiWF88xoa_mFZI2PlSFCCj95n-5OzozQd8Zu-U94RRzv62d8kR_89Td2Uj71QfdW4BnW4TWk5Cc61u0assMvAd8NMGjk-rhw_q3RASTsQp_nj_UrsIVtZxBxnVhUIGFnfp55rjDeSgnTNwIJRngcbhd5aY_HtdRymXM96bf/s320/magna%20print.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Print mark on the reverse of the Dr

have begun taking photographs when she was working
in England. So, it’s probable that she did produce work elsewhere. Perhaps, somewhere, someone who has come across this story, is already dusting off

Since then, that initial biographical research has grown into a much bigger story. </p><p> I’ve discovered that Beatrice Garvie has family, and made contact with them.
I’ve tracked down the kind of camera she used, and found one that’s still in working condition.
Together with Beatrice Thomson, an island elder, I’ve worked to catalogue and caption all of the
more than 500 photographs that are in the Orkney Archive.
I’ve also continued to find creative ways to return her story to North Ronaldsay. </p><p>I feel as if I’ve obtained a much better idea of what Beatrice Garvie was like as a person, as well
as establishing a great deal of her biography. </p><p> As I wondered what to do next, I felt that the answer to that question lay in the ethical way Dr
Garvie had worked, with her photographs. That is, to return them to the people who were in them.
Taking her story back to the island of North Ronaldsay felt increasingly important. Alongside this, I
also wanted to spread the word about the legacy of her work; an archive that may possibly be
unique.</p><p> A special birthday
May 9th 2022 found me heading for North Ronaldsay with a rucksack filled with a medical case,
containing everything an early twentieth century peripatetic medic might have needed, from
smelling salts to umbilical snips, to baby weighing scales. I was also carrying an old medium
format camera with plenty of film, and a very large birthday cake.</p><p> I had been in touch with Helga Scott, teacher at the school on North Ronaldsay, who had
sounded interested in finding out more about Dr. Garvie, and linking it with a school project, on
‘Change’. We had discussed a special event day, a birthday party for Dr Garvie on May 9th, the
150th anniversary of her birth, and I began to think of what I might take along in order to bring her
story to life.</p><p> Of course, Dr Garvie’s photographs were a great place to start.
Helga had shown the schoolchildren some of Dr Garvie’s island photos, of people at work, of
babies that she had delivered, of the bicycle she used to get around the island, and of the
bungalow that Dr Garvie had shared with
Charlotte Tulloch.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxKq1jjcFK-F5s1CF7zcx9ujt6s8RbZP_i51s3AyUDENodcYRPjv2g7v9EPTikNVzszwjb4XgBhm7FI8jC11sn1DPjVNtQ173x29_iQex5JxA93rwumwmyZ5qWl6fzx2aSH-u6FYPoExkDMfWCuLeZylxVTrp1rP7z17SBOK1ndbKVk7rqB8ZD30XX/s2731/Beatrice%20and%20Charlotte.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2731" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxKq1jjcFK-F5s1CF7zcx9ujt6s8RbZP_i51s3AyUDENodcYRPjv2g7v9EPTikNVzszwjb4XgBhm7FI8jC11sn1DPjVNtQ173x29_iQex5JxA93rwumwmyZ5qWl6fzx2aSH-u6FYPoExkDMfWCuLeZylxVTrp1rP7z17SBOK1ndbKVk7rqB8ZD30XX/w400-h300/Beatrice%20and%20Charlotte.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dr Garvie with her housekeeper Charlotte Tulloch</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p> Charlotte worked as her housekeeper,
and I have been told that they were a
couple. Certainly they lived together for
the whole 16 years that Beatrice Garvie
was the doctor on the island, and I gather
that they both left the island, when Dr
Garvie retired. </p><p> Although we don’t need to know the
details of their private lives, when I see
photographs of them together, I do read
companionship there. I also admit to
feeling happy that, after many years of
struggle in her career, Beatrice Garvie
had found a place where she felt
contentment.</p><p> Dr Garvie may also have had a sweet tooth! On a previous visit to the island, by chance, I had

manuscript, however, does not form part of a personal diary; it comprises nine
loose pages and drawings that are solely focused on the discovery and the
ensuing excavation of Taversoe Tuick – which is why it is referred to as a
‘report’ and a ‘manuscript’ here, rather than a ‘journal’.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">It
is a lively piece, full of riveting questions and theories about prehistory,
glimpses of Eliza’s observational sense of humour and her emotional
intelligence, as well as dramatic descriptions of the storm-swept island of
Rousay.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Eliza’s
writing style creates a personal connection between herself and the reader: she
makes no secret out of the joy she got from the discovery, recommending
excavation to </span><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">“anyone in search of excitement!”</i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;"> She also gives
insightful remarks about the moods of those present (her husband and two
workmen) – in addition to providing measurements, detailed site descriptions,
and sketches.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 0px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: 36pt;">The

that, Eliza herself remained a little-known figure in Orkney history, usually
overshadowed by the history of her husband, Lt-Gen Sir Frederick W Traill
Burroughs, the laird of Rousay and Wyre (see ‘further reading’, below for more
information on him). </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">I

Morris, liked the outdoors, enjoyed stargazing, and was partial to tea.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Still

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Or so I thought!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The
OA Sound Archive holds a recorded interview with Alexina Craigie (OSA/TA/149). Alexina
Craigie had worked at Trumland House around the turn of the century and was
still alive in 1977 (!) when Howie Firth interviewed her for Radio Orkney.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The
interview is on a reel-to-reel tape, and I was quite apprehensive the first
time I used it. Not daring to press any buttons for fear of breaking things, I listened
to the interview in one go once it had been switched on by one of the
archivists.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The
interview is a treasure trove of anecdotes, memories, and descriptions of
Orkney, with focus on Rousay. It contains stories and recollections about Alexina
Craigie’s own family and memories that were told to her by her relatives.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The
scope of history on the tape easily goes back at least into the early 1800s, if
not before that, with tales of press gangs, peat cutting, the development of a
postal service in Rousay, hazardous whaling trips, and the kinds of foods that
were eaten in Rousay when Alexina was young.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Alexina’s
memories of working at Trumland House are a relatively small part of the
interview, but the anecdotes she does share have been invaluable for my
research, especially as they give an insight into Eliza’s character by someone
who knew her personally.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">These
anecdotes include Eliza wandering about Trumland House looking for company (and
tea) while her husband and houseguests are out; and Eliza giving up her seat in
a cart between Westness and Trumland, deciding to walk instead, which saved
Alexina a 3.5-mile trek while on duty.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">In
summer 2018, I was back in Orkney and had arranged with the OA to transcribe
the interview. My concerns regarding the age and fragility of the tape (which
had prevented me from pressing any buttons previously) had turned into a plan
to commit the words of the interview to paper (or, to be more precise, to pdf:
GB241/OSA-TA-149).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The
interview lasts for about 30 minutes and I set aside two days for the
transcription. This included listening to the recording various times until I
became familiar with the melody and rhythm of Alexina’s voice and her manners
of speaking, before writing it up bit-by-bit.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Finally,
I listened to the tape several more times, while reading and correcting what I
had written up until every word matched (to the best of my understanding). </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-spacerun: yes; text-indent: 36pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">At
this point, let me emphasise how much help I had from Colin Rendall (Orkney Archive Technician) during those days.
His advice was crucial, as I wanted to avoid mistakes out of ignorance,
especially when it came to dialect and vernacular ways of phrasing (interesting
detour: I learned that there is no such thing as ‘the Orkney dialect’, as every
island of the archipelago has their own).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">To
my understanding, the role of the transcriber is just that: to transcribe every
spoken word, not to correct anything – be it dates, place names, historical
facts – nor to smooth over any phrasing (although some transcribers choose to
omit fill noises; for example, if the speaker says ‘erm’ many times – which
Alexina does not).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Of
course, even a transcription comes with its own bias (and therefore
responsibility!) – simply because it is carried out by a person, who is making
decisions throughout the process. This is an important point, but it would need
its own discussion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The
(largely) passive part I played as a transcriber was what made the process even
more interesting. I was not putting together a polished, reviewed history. Instead,
I was recording a private person’s memory and understanding of the time she lived
in, and her own life story embedded in that.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Above
all, listening to the voice of someone who was alive during the 19</span><sup style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-indent: 36pt;">th</sup><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
century (!) felt like a rare privilege. Unfortunately, a written transcription
does not record the sound of someone’s voice, nor their gestures or facial expressions
while they are speaking. These are the first elements to become (apologies in
advance…) ‘lost in transcription’.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">Alexina
Craigie’s voice is clear and strong (she was about a century old at the time of
the interview!), her phrasing elegant. The tone of her voice reveals a bright,
friendly sense of humour during some anecdotes, while hinting at a profound
loyalty to those around her in other parts.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">When
she begins to talk about Eliza, you can hear how her face lights up with a
smile. It is clear from her voice alone that she got along well with her, which
adds even more weight and meaning when she speaks affectionately about Eliza:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">There
were words – sometimes entire phrases – neither Colin nor I were sure about,
which I have either marked with ‘inaudible’ or provided two possible options
for (not ideal – but I felt this was preferable to putting words into the mouth
of the speaker). Hopefully I will be able to fill in those gaps and update the
transcription sometime.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 36pt;">I

Fish Street where roysters do range."

Unlike other doctors who came and went within a year on the ‘Highlands and Islands Scheme’, she stayed for well over a decade. She was an excellent photographer, and took many photographs and slides of island life, which show the families who lived there, at work in the fields, and on the shore, at the harbour, and with their new babies.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlxWK_CvZnpoDaVOczAC-yt9_hhO051D3w-T8x67Dpx_Uz8vCS8zc4tZaHDiJpC9NqlBABZ8UyeeiSgz7vwE4mCv6-sPnClAM6LLOOCyGP3YyUPUd0rUMRW08dPmYxS37z0O4kT-RZO_e/s1710/0062.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1116" data-original-width="1710" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlxWK_CvZnpoDaVOczAC-yt9_hhO051D3w-T8x67Dpx_Uz8vCS8zc4tZaHDiJpC9NqlBABZ8UyeeiSgz7vwE4mCv6-sPnClAM6LLOOCyGP3YyUPUd0rUMRW08dPmYxS37z0O4kT-RZO_e/w400-h261/0062.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> Dr Garvie in her customary jodhpurs and knitted sweater. <br /><i>Dr Garvie Photo Collection No. 0062</i></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">Her photographs are very natural, and not posed. I think that says something about the skill she had, and also, that the community were relatively at ease with her presence. I have a personal connection with these photographs, since my Gran, Jenny South Ness, grew up on North Ronaldsay, and the first time I came across Beatrice Garvie’s photos was in the archive on the island, where I was delighted and moved to find pictures of my Gran in her early life, and then, of course, I came to know the family pictured around her too.</span></div><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6kllIv547nrZmI41bTvvmoL1AYvLIjwdBrFqLeodpI48hpesHBhjFILF5-H4OTWF8eLOo_QV0ut3vu4C5hFrJpichBmzFSIbqrQpILb_cHZdVv6BkB4Qo8Po24sGUeHFjGzzwxyBoSb0r/s1068/0003.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="787" data-original-width="1068" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6kllIv547nrZmI41bTvvmoL1AYvLIjwdBrFqLeodpI48hpesHBhjFILF5-H4OTWF8eLOo_QV0ut3vu4C5hFrJpichBmzFSIbqrQpILb_cHZdVv6BkB4Qo8Po24sGUeHFjGzzwxyBoSb0r/w400-h295/0003.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jenny South Ness tramping the blankets. <br /><i>Dr. Garvie Photo Collection No. 0003</i></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">By the time Beatrice Garvie was working on North Ronaldsay, she was in her fifties. When I thought about that, I wondered if she had been one of the first women to train in medicine. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">I also thought it possible that, if she had made such a careful record of island life through her photographs, perhaps she had done the same in other places she had lived.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQDlGewurnkG2D9Y2DZhZrrP9wJRc8wXgsbMSc2hXzoj7wLkOTHBsd2CdClFtBsX4f6Bk9E1fzScl6rPgPqrOFXXrEbUfpD9QLNZVPfh27QWvMKNVs62o5qFt2rNByqdgtU3fvGTw3w4c5/s1399/0239.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="914" data-original-width="1399" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQDlGewurnkG2D9Y2DZhZrrP9wJRc8wXgsbMSc2hXzoj7wLkOTHBsd2CdClFtBsX4f6Bk9E1fzScl6rPgPqrOFXXrEbUfpD9QLNZVPfh27QWvMKNVs62o5qFt2rNByqdgtU3fvGTw3w4c5/w400-h261/0239.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">South Ness with Jenny, Bella, children and Jenny's parents John and Mary.<br /><i>Dr. Garvie Photo Collection No.0239</i></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">Lockdown was an opportunity to start finding out more. Thanks to an amount of detail now available online, and the helpful corroboration of archivists in Scotland and England, I've put together quite a full picture of her life. The archives on North Ronaldsay, and in Kirkwall, have a collection of her photographs, and I’m very grateful to the archive for preserving these so carefully. Thanks too, to Ann Marwick, whose meticulous and sensitive recordings of memories through her sound recordings, are an immense resource for seeking detail from the past. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">As restrictions lift, I look forward to visiting North Ronaldsay and talking to folk who still hold her in living memory. This is the story so far. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">Sometimes people have told me that Beatrice Garvie had worked in India, just before she came to North Ronaldsay, and it is fairly well known that she worked there as a medical missionary. In fact, she went to India not long after she qualified. Here is a picture of her in Rajputana, where she worked in the Zenana, with women and children.</span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggFLnwZhJEmQ8oBEEvZwFYD55zX7cdYRtRVo5vQmDjjtvYiGUT8rmUPrwlOO5zv88QXzrrgYfxOSNTmUyAjIKDzWs-qPc6EDSWLYub9nzlaROqgmFD_STw98BpwGQqyZ-B6yhz0uz7RiEp/s999/Garvie+2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="806" data-original-width="999" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggFLnwZhJEmQ8oBEEvZwFYD55zX7cdYRtRVo5vQmDjjtvYiGUT8rmUPrwlOO5zv88QXzrrgYfxOSNTmUyAjIKDzWs-qPc6EDSWLYub9nzlaROqgmFD_STw98BpwGQqyZ-B6yhz0uz7RiEp/w400-h323/Garvie+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />Miss Miller, Dr. B.

She had passed all her exams by 1895. This qualification was endorsed jointly by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Royal Colleges. When you look at the list of other names in the exam rolls, hers is usually the singular female. Martha Florence Armitage was another woman to take this qualification at around the same time. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444;">I now know that Beatrice Garvie worked in Glasgow and in Islington, Stirlingshire, Paisley and Sheffield and Rotherham. She worked in ‘Fever Hospitals’ and specialised in tuberculosis. She gained promotions as an officer of public health, as well as studying, when she was in the Sheffield area, for a further qualification in public health. She considered the effects of poverty on public health in a report that she wrote. She had to deal with an amount of prejudice, most likely throughout her career.</span></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">She was an active supporter of suffrage, at least as far as making and collecting donations to the NUWSS (National Union of Women Suffrage Societies), in particular to the NUWSS field hospitals for Russian refugees, which were an important and very well organised relief effort for these refugees, although they are little recognised in the history of this time. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">Here are some intriguing details from her career in the early 1920s that may illustrate how it was to be a woman working in public health just after the end of the 1st World War. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">In 1920, Beatrice Garvie was the Tuberculosis Officer in Fife, having worked as the Assistant Tuberculosis Officer in Tayside just previously. There are records of council committee meetings from her time in Fife. In early 1920, she draws notice to the time being wasted, as she travelled to visit men in their homes, to inspect them for TB, after their return from the war. She explained that men were rarely in, despite having been notified of the time and date of the appointment. She asks that a change in practice might call the men to visit a clinic, and therefore save all the hours of her wasted travel, over a large geographical area. A committee member points out that this would necessitate the men traveling instead, and risking loss of a day’s wages. This is questioned by another committee member. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">Then at another committee meeting, Beatrice Garvie relates that the ‘civilian’ community are suffering from TB, through insufficient inspection, as so much time is taken with the men who have returned from war. There is no record of any action being discussed, or having been taken. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">Shortly after this, Beatrice Garvie takes a month’s sick leave. At the end of that, a medical officer ‘intimates’ to the committee that she needs a further 6 months sick leave. This is refused, and she is given a month’s notice. Then there is discussion of the need to appoint a man to the role, and that this role, with other responsibilities included, could be advertised at a salary of £1000 pa. I haven’t found much detail on Beatrice Garvie’s salary, what I have found was in the area of £400 pa.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">She began work in North Ronaldsay in 1929. Sydney Scott tells Ann Marwick, in an Orkney Sound Archive oral history interview, that “<i>she was very….. you ken what I mean?</i>” when asked how she fitted in with the folk on the island. He says that women were “<i>frightened of her</i>”, although Tia, his wife, quickly responds “<i>I wasnae afraid of her</i>”. They do not agree in the interview on how folk felt about her. Tia is more ready to say she was a good doctor, and that she became better liked as time went on. Both agree that she was friendly with everyone on the island. A newspaper report notes that she and John Tulloch of Upper Linnay won the Hogmanay wheelbarrow race, in 1943, ‘to great appreciation’. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpC8GMPIW-9JIWq0da15YpMEGVfl6fC5YEyE6aKoYNnVoNLYTOwRk3YkdH4tkQYFqzRxQQr2n7TTomiiFu7Q1bbokwQKNRGbXMY7tvaOHkoiDAstvRMmZAjNV6V1H-xjKhPLMf6NoUEuuU/s1695/0139.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1124" data-original-width="1695" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpC8GMPIW-9JIWq0da15YpMEGVfl6fC5YEyE6aKoYNnVoNLYTOwRk3YkdH4tkQYFqzRxQQr2n7TTomiiFu7Q1bbokwQKNRGbXMY7tvaOHkoiDAstvRMmZAjNV6V1H-xjKhPLMf6NoUEuuU/w400-h265/0139.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Dr. Garvie Photo Collection No. 0139</i></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="color: #444444;">She was given gifts during her time on the island and when she left.

When she left the island, she had a big ‘roup’, selling off her possessions. Mary Ann Thomson, of South Ness, still remembers it, despite being very young at the time. When she left the island, Charlotte Scott, who had lived with her on North Ronaldsay, as her housekeeper, also went with her. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">I next find a record of her, after the Second World War, living at Castlebrae, in Auchterarder. This was set up as a private hotel by Helen and Stanley Kudelski after the Second World War. Helen Kerr had worked as a transport secretary in the services during the war. Stanley Kudelski was a Captain in a Polish regiment stationed in Auchterarder, and they married after the war. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">There was an internment camp for Polish people in Auchterarder, in fact there were a number of these in Scotland, and they were considered sovereign Polish soil, administered by the Polish government in exile. There are records of abuse in the camp at Rothesay, where it seems that Polish Jews, communists and gay people were kept out of the way by the government, in exile. I haven’t had the time yet to investigate what the camp was like at Auchterarder. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">At the end of the war, there was a large Polish community in Auchterarder, with no chance of returning home. An agricultural school was set up by another Polish captain.. Contact with members of an online group called ‘Auchterarder Memories’ revealed that Castlebrae had extensive grounds, in which there was a small farm, and vegetable gardens. People in the group had memories, years after the war, of elderly Polish men still employed to work in the grounds, and of Polish staff in the kitchen and carrying out domestic roles in the hotel. Beatrice Garvie lived here until her death, in 1959. I hope to find more links to Castlebrae, and the other people who lived and worked there. There was a Mary Lunn, who had been a music teacher in Edinburgh, and retired to Castlebrae at about the same time as Beatrice Garvie did, and who lived there for over twenty years. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">It is tempting to wonder whether a social network of some kind existed to link these single women, perhaps from the early days of degrees being awarded to women, or through the suffrage campaign, or some other link. It is also tempting to wonder what it was about this strong and purposeful community, that chimed with Beatrice Garvie. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">There is a lot more to find out, and equally, a lot more that I could have included already, but will return to another time. Perhaps you have a memory of Beatrice Garvie, or know something more about her. Maybe you’ve come across a set of photos in another archive that were taken by a woman doctor, between 1900 and 1950, and this will turn out to be another set of pictures that she took. Any detail, no matter how slight it may seem, can add a great deal to a picture of a person, and I’d be very grateful to hear from you!</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;">Fiona Sanderson, March 2021.

Pre-COVID we were open from 9.15am -5pm every week and we are sorry to have cut the hours so low. One reason is that we are a joint Library & Archive service and the Library staff oversee everyone who comes into the building checking that they have booked in and showing them how to get to Library or the Orkney Room or the Archive Searchroom. </span></div><p>One of the Library's success stories over the COVID pandemic period has been the Request and Collect service, whereby members can ask for books to be loaned to them and then they can come and pick them up from tables in the Foyer without having to browse the shelves. </p><p>Two popular pre-COVID services have also been resumed for Library members:</p><p>The <a href="http://www.orkneylibrary.org.uk/bookbox.htm" target="_blank">Book Box Service</a> is for readers who live on the islands which are not served by the Mobile Library Service. A box which can normally hold up to a dozen books is selected and sent out to each reader by their local haulier with all costs being met by the Library. Each box also contains a return label for sending it back to the library and a request sheet for noting down specific titles or subjects of interest. Readers can also customize their own Book Box by browsing the Library Catalogue online and reserving their own books. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPG02Tfn-pOoOC-iuJZaoVxyIhKEU3EBlgi2L3OGfB4x6q6WcnK9rqce_Vls90VfaG6kmVsb7TkyhyphenhyphenmjdnwJVHb_6ZaBmP27CpWIfRLJvMw4fMh5MqpUPT0PZ-coMlHmCe6vEYNTwQjF66/s247/1307.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="247" data-original-width="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPG02Tfn-pOoOC-iuJZaoVxyIhKEU3EBlgi2L3OGfB4x6q6WcnK9rqce_Vls90VfaG6kmVsb7TkyhyphenhyphenmjdnwJVHb_6ZaBmP27CpWIfRLJvMw4fMh5MqpUPT0PZ-coMlHmCe6vEYNTwQjF66/s0/1307.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p>The <a href="http://www.orkneylibrary.org.uk/homelibrary.htm" target="_blank">Home Library Service</a> is for people who have health or mobility issues, or for library users who are suffering from a debilitating illness.
