The Longship is a fashion and lifestyle store in the Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland. We are a family business and pride ourselves in supporting other independent designers and craftspeople – from Orkney and beyond.
Our current opening hours are 10am to 4.00pm, Tuesday to Saturday
The Longship has been a family business since 1859. With Mother’s Day in mind, Ola Gorie’s daughter Ingrid Tait remembers growing up with a pioneering jeweller as a mum and the early days of the 'Ola Gorie Story'.
Gordon Parks was one of the most important photographers of twentieth-century. Once a weapon to oppress the black body through colonial documentation and surveillance, the camera has been reclaimed by the likes of Parks and other black photographers.
Parks' photography dismantles stereotypes; through his work we see the black experience through a more nuanced and multidimensional lens.
