Orkney!

11 Comments

Orkney is an archipelago of the northern coast of Scotland and contains about 70 islands – 20 of which are inhabited.  These islands have incredible history – the village of Skara Brae is Europe’s most well-preserved Neolithic settlement and is believed to have been inhabited from around 3100 BCE.  By the Iron Age, these islands were home to a variety of Pictish tribes living comfortable agricultural lives until the arrival of Norse invaders in the 8^th century.

For this year’s Celtic Fling, our Orkney has been done in an eye catching golden palomino tobiano pinto with high gloss finish.  Done on the Stablemates Clydesdale (mold #5604) sculpted by Kathleen Moody, this handsome fellow will certainly brighten your day!
