Birsay Whalebone
In stock
Along the walk from the Point of Buckquoy, Birsay to Skiba Geo, overlooking the meeting of the Atlantic and the North Sea, is a whalebone sculpture from a right whale washed up in the 1870’s. The post is part of the jawbone, the crossbar of the sculpture is the back of the skull. It is suggested the whalebone was possibly sited as a fishing mark.
