Orkney Quiz
Orkney Quiz at the County Show in Kirkwall
BuyOrkney had a stand at the County Show in Kirkwall on Saturday, 12 August.
Visitors to the stand could try to win one of our printed t-shirts in a multiple choice quiz. Although we don't offer on-line quizzes yet, we thought we would offer everyone the chance to test their wits and also provide the answers for our Saturday visitors who wanted to know just why Sheriff Thoms wanted to be buried in a wicker coffin or which Orcadian coined the term Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The questions all come from facts I've gleaned for the daily e-mails.
Our winner, Anne Robertson, scored a very impressive 9 out of 10. See if you can do better.
