This recording day will include a tour of the wave energy test site by the EMEC team. \nBurgar Hill was initially a wind energy research site in the early 1980s and home to a number of experimental turbines. These are long gone but evidence of them remains in the landscape. \nSaturday’s recording day\, from 10am until 4pm\, is open to anyone interested in helping survey and record the old turbine bases. \nAnyone interested in learning some new skills and taking part in any\, or all\, of the recording days should email enquiries.ORCA@uhi.ac.uk. No previous experience is necessary. \nThe Orkney Energy Landscapes project is led by the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA)\, part of the University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute\, in partnership with the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) and the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews. \nIts aims are to explore the past\, present and future of energy production and its role in shaping the identity of Orkney’s communities.
