💛 Today’s Whalebone Memory 💛

Jenna Ward and her family have been visiting Orkney since 2011, with many of their stays taking place in Birsay.

Jenna has shared some wonderful photographs with us from their time visiting the whalebone over the years, each one capturing a little piece of those special moments.

But I think you’ll all agree that these ones are pretty special 😊

It’s moments like these that become cherished memories, capturing not just a place, but the feeling of being there.
Thank you, Jenna, for sharing these beautiful memories of Birsay and the whalebone with us 🐋🦴💛

This large Whalebone model, crafted from water‑resistant filament and set on a stone plinth made with stone from Doonagua Geo, has now found its forever home in a beautiful Yorkshire garden.

Its new owner spent many happy holidays in Birsay and has a lovely connection to the Northside through her mum, who was born and raised there.

Large whalebone models are now available to order on our online shop for £100, and they really do make a stunning statement piece. We can arrange postage so please get in touch. Grab yours today from our online shop:
