Stromness Glimmers: A Festival of Light

12 to 14 November · Orkney

12–14November

For three dark November evenings, Stromness becomes an open-air gallery of light. From 12 to 14 November, members of the Móti Collective and other Orkney artists fill the streets with video projections and sculptures made of light, laid out as a walking trail through the old harbour town. The festival takes its name from the closing line of Lux Perpetua, a poem by George Mackay Brown, who lived in Stromness most of his life. It's free and open to everyone, so wrap up warm and wander the trail after dark. The Móti Collective will share the artworks and where to find them closer to the time.

The Daily for 11 November, from Scotland with love. The broken stone walls of a lochside castle rise from a small tree-covered island, autumn foliage glowing orange against the dark water and forested hillside beyond.
