Orion and Orkney
I have a real love of Orkney and actually got to visit there once. One of the best websites for the islands is Orkneyjar. I hadn't been to the website in a while, so was browsing what's new, and came across this article: On earth as it is in heaven - was Orion linked to Orkney's Neolithic heartland?
Fascinating stuff -- and Orion is my favourite constellation!

I vowed nearly 9 years ago that if I ever visit Orkney again, I will FLY in, thank you very much, because that ferry ride across some of the roughest water in the world did in even my cast-iron stomach!
