Old Photograph St Mary's Holm Orkney Scotland

Old photograph of fishing boats and houses in St Mary's Holm, Orkney Islands, Scotland. St Mary's Holm is a coastal village on Mainland, Orkney. It was in St Mary's that a poorly-equipped army left for the Scottish mainland to avenge the execution of King Charles I. The Orkney recruits were led by the Marquis of Montrose. They were annihilated at Carbisdale in Sutherland.
