The Fields of Time is a community art project run by the St Mary's Preservation Trust.

We are recording the field-names from South Ronaldsay's south parish in a patchwork and in a digital map.

While the patchwork will cover the south parish, the digital map will record field-names from across Orkney.

If you would like to volunteer to help collect the remaining field-names in South Ronaldsay or to share field-names from other parishes, please get in touch.

You can browse the field-names collected so far and view them on the map:
