taken 12 years ago, near to Hatston, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland

Earth House - Kirkwall
Earth House - Kirkwall
Inside the Earth House on the Hatston Industrial Estate.
This unusual and mysterious structure is usually locked but the key is locally available.
Here Ruaridh progresses along the well-built tunnel towards the main chamber.
Reputedly a Grain Store but it seems a little grand for that.
