Microscopist has left me with the Peter Maxwell Davies piece "Farewell to Stromness" going round and round in my brain. Fortunately, as earworms go, it could have been a lot worse.
Whilst every time I look at this thread I have Dougie MacLean's song in my ears for hours.  There is incidentally a small local heritage centre at the North End of Mull Hoy with many of Peter Maxwell Davies' manuscripts and other memorabelia on display. 

On a vaguely "fitba" theme the recent death of the previous, illustrious, Celtic captain and one time City manager Billy McNeil reminded me of a trip to Vatersay where the remains of the coach that took the Vatersay Boys to Lisbon for Celtic's European Cup win could still be seen.  Since there was no MoT station on Barra or Vatersay they had to arrange to have the coach MoT'd en route in Glasgow before continuing to Lisbon.
