Nice one Mr g :-)
And for something very, very special, listen (if/when available) to Norn But Not Forgotten: Sounds of Shetland ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00thpw1/Norn_But_Not_Forgotten_Sounds_of_Shetland/ ) where Kathleen Jamie explores the legacy of the Norn language among Shetland's poets.
And yes, there is a poem of a Standing Stane in there, read in a dialect as close to Old English as you're ever likely to get (and can understand). Wonderful!
