In the organiser's words

What the official page says.

Quoted from tracy.mackenna.studio and checked on 31 August 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.

A self-directed residency, based at Robbie’s Hoose, a historic self-catering hideaway on the very edge of the ocean, in Orkney’s ancient capital. For full information and images see the website page https://tracy.mackenna.studio/the-museum-of-loss-and-renewal-residencies/individual-residency-programme-orkney-islands-scotland/

Duration

Minimum of one week

Accommodation

Robbie’s Hoose is a fully-furnished self-catering house steeped in cultural significance, a true one-off, rich in character and history, sitting right on the cusp of the sea. Once home to the poet, painter and conchologist Robert Rendall, who was drawn here by the shore, the shells and the marine life, it occupies the historic site of Orkney’s Bishop’s Palace in the village of Birsay.
