The first known text discovered in Orkney was on a whorl stone found at Buckquoy in Birsay and is thought to date from around 500 AD. Written in Ogham, a language dating from Pictish times and sometimes referred to as the Celtic Tree Alphabet, the inscription reads: a blessing on the soul of L. These early people may have believed that etching Ogham script onto a stone bestowed it with magical powers.

Pendant reads: A Blessing on the Soul.
