The Hogboon of Hellihowe

Description

The Trow Maker lives a short distance from the home of the hogboon, on Sanday, one of Orkneys most beautiful islands.

Taking inspiration from the legends and folklore of Orkne’s rich history, The Trow Maker gathers bruck and shells from the hogboon’s beach to inspire his creations at his studio which looks towards the hogboon’s mound.

He always leaves a saucer of milk out at night, just in case!

‘Orkney has a rich, historic dialect. Some words used in the Peedie Hands series of books gives the younger generation the opportunity to enjoy and learn a few Orcadian words to carry on the dialect of these special islands for generations to come. Included in this book is a selection of old Orkney words to learn and have fun with.’
