Orcade-Ian:
Ted,
Cold? Can be, inhospitable? - not like London thankfully but if you do get the chance to visit, then don't say 'The Orkneys' or you'll be sent back on the first available boat!
Here's a little taster of the full two day Show this year:

There will be a professionally produced DVD available later in the year for you to buy at a special rate - one for the price of two!
Matt_Harrington:
Looks like an very interesting day out - something for everyone. Are the costumes in the Youtube clip relating to Orkney?
Orcade-Ian:
Hi Matt,
If you mean those very decorated costumes, then yes they are for the annual 'Festival of the Horse' and boys ploughing match which takes place each year in South Ronaldsay. The ploughs are miniature ones often made by fathers, grandfathers and uncles and they are used on the Sands of Wright. That's another great day out. Lots of stuff going on up here in the 'frozen North'

Oddjob:
Why can't you say The Orkneys Ian? Some sort of local thing?
