Is one or the other more correct? Here is a link to some basic suggestions for Solstice activities for households etc.: clickety. kat |

I also followed the link from there to the Orkney Tourist board and their events listings which referred me back to the live webcast accessed from the main page, probably the same one Penny linked to? |
