Skea Looking West Curiously named clifftop of Skea. At the southeast corner of this tiny Geograph looking west towards the Brough of Birsay. My GPS told me this square is 9m east to west and 7m north to south - so the whole square is in this photograph.

The Standard is High But not as high as me! - Curiously un-orcadian sounding sea stack called Standard which is about 170ft tall - my vantage point is over 300ft.

Down by the Swannay This pile of rocks at the top of the Loch of Swannay is optimistically described by OS Mapping as a jetty, personally I wouldn't fancy my chances at launching much from it, still, it makes a nice foreground feature for the picture. Note the three sunken tyres used to tie up to.
