Orkney & North East Scotland: The Dorothy Dunnett Guide

£8.00

Would you like to explore the northern lands of Thorfinn, Earl of Orkney and Mormaer of Moray?

Orkney and North-East Scotland: The Dorothy Dunnett Guide contains nearly one hundred locations from Westray in the north to the River Dee in the south. It includes quotations from King Hereafter, maps and illustrations. It will take you to where archaeology has identified Thorkel's home in Deerness, to Thorfinn's settlement at Birsay, into the Grampian mountains, to the sites of two monasteries headed by Duftah, to Groa's dower lands and many more (including a small diversion into the northlands known by Nicholas and Lymond).

This guide is a delight for all Dunnett readers, whether visiting in person or from an armchair.
