"Ower wi' the moon"

In Orkney, we used to have an expression: "I'll be ower wi' the moon," meaning, "I will come and visit you when the moon is full, to light my way."

Orkneyology, the podcast

In the Orkneyology Podcast, we talk with fascinating and creative folk - some people living here in Orkney and some farther afield who love our islands.

We talk about folklore, storytelling, books, history, life in Orkney, art, archaeology and anything else we find inspiring. We do hope you'll join us for a good blether.

Look for the Orkneyology Podcast again on the night of the next full moon.
