Introduction / Pharay Photos / Doggerboat

From the Boat: Doggerboat, School, Windywa and Holland

This is one of a series of photos taken from the boat going from Kirkwall to Rapness in Westray, along the west side of Pharay. They were taken on a November morning when conditions were not ideal but they give a feeling for the position of the houses on the island and their proximity to the sea.

The photo takes in from left (north) to right (south): Doggerboat in the distance, the re-roofed Pharay School, the chimneys of Windywa and also Holland.

Doggerboat and the School are close to the road while Windywa and Holland are down near the west shore.
