New Orkney Antiquarian Journal. Volume 2. 92 pages. £12 per copy ISBN 0 9535945 1 3
This
is obviously not a book as such it is rather an occasional scholarly publication
issued by the Orkney Heritage
This learned tomb contains much of interest not least the papers by Henry Sinclair's 'visit' to north America and the Zeno narrative both of which give a most interesting alternative to that which is presently available in the popular press.
The Contents of Volume 2 are:
Editorial

Society together with the Orkney Archaeological Trust. The attraction here is that the journal
supplies a very specific view of historical matters relating to the Orkney
Isles. One Rosslyn Templar suggested that the recent use of the Kirkwall Scroll
in a 'pop' history of Scottish Freemasonry was akin to the carpetbaggers of the
American Civil War but this Rosslyn Templar, as editor (hopefully pro tempore),
considers that to be a wee bitty harsh but quite understands the sentiments
expressed. (" 'ware o' a' sa cawed "granny wits yer nummer guisers"
particilar fra ferryloupers whey cry am Masonic jimmy" - my Lallands is not,
sadly, all that good and I hope, therefore, I have expressed this as the Brother
would have wished - Ed.).
