The (Ancient) Writing on the Wall

Available for over a year

A project will be launched this week to record all the graffiti inside St Magnus cathedral in Orkney. You might think there that wouldn't be much, it’s not usually the thing you expect to see in a sacred place, but as Huw Williams from BBC Radio Orkney discovered this week, it's a tradition that began with the craftsmen who built the church and it's gone on ever since then. When he went to cover the story, of course, he took along his Reporter's Notebook.
