Skyran was inspired by the first-known text discovered in Orkney. The Ogham writing which reads 'a blessing on the souls' was found on a whorl stone at Buckquoy, Birsay and dates to approximately 500 AD. This ancient Ogham text of the Picts is very informal and its sketch-like incisions were usually scratched into a surface.

A chance meeting with local musicians, the Wrigley Sisters, led to a unique collaboration of metal and music which fused to produce an interesting of forms in sound, colour, hidden words and messages. The ring design and brooch both read 'a blessing on the soul'. Utiseta reads 'twilight' and Skyran means 'to glitter' or 'shine brightly'. Each design has a special meaning as indicated on the pictures throughout the following pages.
