Old Photograph Hellia Spur Rousay Orkney Islands Scotland

Old photograph of Hellia Spur, Rousay, Orkney Islands, Scotland. Rousay's highest cliff, Hellia Spur has many breeding Guillemot, Kittiwake and Razorbill during the summer months. A few Puffins nest in burrows at the top of these steep cliffs. The island of Rousay has evidence from every stage in the history of Orkney, with a Neolithic settlement at Rinyo, Bronze Age burnt mounds, Iron Age crannogs and brochs, Viking boat burials, remains of a medieval church and the stately home at Trumland.
