John Rae Week Begins...

We kicked off John Rae week with a visit to Stromness Museum to have a look around the exhibition about John Rae's life.  We got to see lots of things that he used and things that he owned and was interested in.  We also really enjoyed having a look around the rest of the museum! On our way there we stopped at the Statue of John Rae.  We saw that he was carrying a gun and a knife for hunting.  We are looking forward to finding out lots more about his life and why he is important to Orkney.
