Kirbuster Museum

Orkney Islands Wireless Museum and Classic car show Kirkwall

While on a round Great Britain Cruise in Sept 2012 on Thomson's Spirit I stumbled across this little gem of a wireless museum in Kirkwall on the Orkney Isles. I only had a very short time to grab these snaps and there is so much more to look at I hope I can get back someday. If you are on the Island I am sure that enthusiasts of old radios will enjoy this as much as I did. After a lifetime in the radio and TV business from the 1960 this exhibition brought back fond memories and even the smell of gently toasting mains droppers and thermal valves took me back 50 years. As an added bonus :- there was also a classic car event going on close by so just had enough time to grab a few snaps before rushing back to the ship as the pulled the gang plank up! Enjoy!

Orkney Seals

Taken in Birsay, Orkney, the seals were pretty far out there but you can see them splashing around.
