Recording 900 years of cathedral graffiti

[Still Waters]

St Magnus Cathedral is a giant pink building which dominates the centre of Kirkwall.

It is a much loved building, at the centre of church and community events.

But for almost 900 years, people have been expressing their affection for the place by literally leaving their mark there.

Now Orkney Archaeology Society is training up volunteers to make the first full record of all the graffiti in the building.

I applaud the wit who signed "Leif Erikson 1156." People have always been funny...heh
