Einar
My house is called Einar, just like the Viking Earl of Orkney mentioned in the Orkneyinga Saga. That’s because of a spelling mistake rather than anything intentional.

I always have to spell it when I mention it when I’m south. I’m delighted to see a vessel called Einar at Scapa

In the harbour is an Eider Duck. It’s been diving and appears to have come up with part of an Edible Crab.

And there’s an Oystercatcher with a full-frontal pose.

Charming, isn’t it?
