A
Year of Orcadian Tradition
|
|
"I weigh day and night" says March, the shopkeeper.
"There you are sir - a shillingworth of sun."
|
March |
In Orkney, March is the month of lengthening
days and the spring equinox. The long dark winter
is behind us and a summer of long days and darkling twilights
lies ahead. |
|
March sees the "Vore Tullye"
- the spring struggle between the evil Teran and the Mither
o' the Sea.
During this time, the islands are battered by incessant winds
and storms, said to be the result of the violent clash between
these ancient spirits of winter and summer. |
