Message from Meandering Wild

The Brough of Birsay is a little tidal island off the coast of Orkney, Scotland. It's got some ancient history going on, with remains of both Pictish and Norse settlements hanging around. You can walk over to it at low tide, but watch out for the water at high tide! There's even a modern lighthouse chilling there. Plus, you might spot some seabirds doing their thing on the cliffs. Overall, it's a neat spot to check out if you're into history and nature vibes.
