An old friend, the Old Man of Hoy.

The next exhibition being planned for the Hoy heritage project at the Hoy Kirk will feature one of the best known characters in Orkney – the Old Man of Hoy.

Do you have any stories, photographs, newspaper clippings, films or even bits of the Orkney landmark? Perhaps you have recollections of climbing the Old Man or maybe you have studied birds on him.

Has the Old Man changed over the years?

The exhibition hopes to explore the geology, flora and wildlife of the stack and the Friends of Hoy Kirk are keen to hear from anyone who can contribute to the exhibition.
