[edit] Article name

I would have merged Holm of Midgarth into Linga Holm myself... Midgarth is a place on a neighbouring island AFAIK, giving its name to the "Holm of M" --MacRusgail (talk) 21:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, but would you intend to create a new article or dab page for Midgarth? If anything should redirect to Linga Holm it would be 'Holm of Midgarth'. Ben MacDui^Talk/Walk 15:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Knowe

Removed "including a prehistoric subterranean structure or knowe. This knowe has been likened to a similar ancient structure at Caithness and to the Castle Bloody souterrain on Shapinsay.

It is not 100% clear but I believe the Midgarth referred to is the one on Mainland Orkney near Tingwall. Ben MacDui^Talk/Walk 15:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
