I've been to Kirkwall. It is at 59 degrees North latitude and it was midsummer so it was light very late in the evening. There is a cathedral there honoring St. Magnus, a "martyr" (actually murdered by his cousin who was his rival for power). There is an Old Norse saga, the Orkneyinga Saga, about the earls of Orkney, which is available in English translation.

I wonder if she will release the contents of the letter when she gets it?
