The stone farm house is the home where William
the Elder lived before coming to what is now Manitoba. The stone walls
are extremely thick, as one might imagine for the treeless Orkney
Islands. My mother took this photo in the winter of 1973, and aside from
the power line, nothing much has changed over the centuries. The land is
in County Harray near Kirkwell. The inscription on the back reads "a
poor farm but a happy one."
