Does this have anything to do with that tusk-like thing down at the water on the eastside of the voe, perchance? Ex-isle 08:45, 12 July 2007 (MDT)

I was just wondering the same thing. I always wondered what that thing was, now this has sparked my curiosity, must find out more.

same here ... anybody on here with Weisdale ties? Ex-isle 09:08, 12 July 2007 (MDT)

Best idea would be to post the image on Shetlink and ask for details :-)

re islandhopper's theory, why would there be a concrete pillar down there in there first place? Or do you mean they moved a the pillar down there, intact with slug colony, so as not to disturb the little darlings :) ?? Ex-isle 11:00, 12 July 2007 (MDT)

... aske them ... I prefer Robbie's theory ... ;-) BDW: I believe that tusk thing of the stranded beast is now in Stromness Museum ... but only some 70% sure ... :-) Islandhopper 11:08, 12 July 2007 (MDT)

the romantic in me really wants to believe it's the narwhal's spear ... but the old cynic knows that for every narwhal there are trillions and trillions of slugs ... Ex-isle 11:22, 12 July 2007 (MDT)
