The 2008 calendars are a new design with larger images and calendar sections. they are spiral bound and open up to 25x40cm. They are printed on heavy card and laminated.

Orkney consists of over 70 islands of which less than 20 are inhabited. The varied landscape, many sites of interest and especially the archaeological remains and abundant wildlife make it fascinating at any season.

We publish calendars annually of the following areas: Orkney, Shetland, Western Isles and Caithness. The calendars are 22x25cm with 12 pictures plus covesr. As usual the calendars are widely available in each area, but may be ordered direct, either via email charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk, telephone or fax. Retail price is £5.95 per calendar plus UK postage and packing of £2. Overseas post and packaging is extra at cost (US, Canada and Australia $20 US including airmail). Payment by Visa or Mastercard is preferred. We can also send calendars directly to friends or relatives if you wish.

Prints are available from all of the images on this site.
