| dbo:abstract | St. Margaret’s Hope (lokal bekannt als The Hope, ausgesprochen „Hup“) ist ein Dorf auf der Orkneyinsel South Ronaldsay im Norden Schottlands. Es hat etwa 550 Einwohner und ist nach Kirkwall und Stromness drittgrößte Siedlung der Orkney. Der Ort liegt am Water Sound, an der inneren Spitze einer geschützten Bucht an der Nordküste der Insel South Ronaldsay, die über die Churchill Barriers (A961) eine Verbindung mit der Hauptinsel Mainland hat, und ist Ausflugsziel der Bewohner von Kirkwall. Die Pentland Ferries unterhalten eine Fährverbindung nach Gills Bay auf dem schottischen Festland. „The Hope“ ist das wichtigste Dorf der Insel und entweder benannt nach Königin Margaret, der „Maid of Norway“, die dort 1290 starb oder nach Königin Margaret von Schottland, der Frau von Malcolm III. Letztere Erklärung stammt von viktorianischen Ordnance Survey Karten, die den Namen auf eine frühchristliche St. Margarets Kapelle zurückführen. Das Dorf hat eine Grundschule, ein Museum und eine Reihe von Geschäften und Restaurants. Es ist bekannt für seinen jährlichen Pflügewettbewerb, eine lokale Tradition am Sand von Wright. Spuren eines eisenzeitlichen Brochs liegen auf einem Feld, oberhalb des Dorfes, südlich befindet sich der Clouduhall Stone.

It is known locally as "The Hope" or "The Hup". With a population of about 550, it is Orkney's third largest settlement after Kirkwall and Stromness. St Margaret's Hope is the main settlement of the island of South Ronaldsay. Situated off at the head of a calm bay on the island's northern coast, it is connected to the Orkney Mainland by the A961 road running across the Churchill Barriers. St Margaret's Hope is believed to have been named after either Saint Margaret of Scotland (c.1045-1093), the wife of Malcolm III, or Margaret, Maid of Norway, who died in Orkney and possibly in this location in 1290. The village has a primary school, a small blacksmith's museum, a few shops and a cafe, a pub and a wine bar. Pentland Ferries run a reliable service from the pier in the bay to Gills Bay on the Scottish mainland. It is also known for its annual Boys' Ploughing Match, a local tradition where young boys plough the sands at the nearby , and girls (or boys, though this is now a rarity) wear traditional 'horse' costumes resembling a harness. The event, which incorporates The Festival of the Horse, is known to have been in existence for at least 200 years, and takes place on the third Saturday of August. Scant traces of an Iron Age broch can be found in a field off the Ontaft road above the village. The site could once be identified by Victorian OS maps, but with the passage of time and all but a 'crop mark' remaining, modern maps fail to show its location. It is favoured by most in Orkney as being its prettiest village. The picturesque waterfront location being far superior to its West Mainland equivalent Stromness. (en) St Margaret's Hope, conosciuta localmente come The Hope (pronunciato "Hup"; in lingua scots: Saunt Marget's) è un villaggio delle Isole Orcadi, al largo della costa nord-orientale della Scozia. Conta una popolazione di 550 persone, il che ne fa il terzo centro abitato più grande delle Orcadi, dopo Kirkwall e Stromness. Situata al largo del sul promontorio di una baia protetta sulla costa settentrionale dell'isola di South Ronaldsay, è connessa all'Isola Mainland dalla strada A961 attraverso le Churchill Barriers. The Hope è il principale villaggio di South Ronaldsay e prende il nome da Margherita di Scozia, che potrebbe essere morta qui, o da Santa Margherita di Scozia, moglie di Malcolm III. Quest'ultima spiegazione è suggerita dalle mappe del Victorian Ordnance Survey che mostrano l'antico sito di una cappella protocristiana dedicata a Santa Margherita. Oggi non sono visibili i resti di questa struttura, ma era situata presso lo Smiddy Museum (attualmente sito di un edificio dell'autorità locale per lo sviluppo, in Erlend Terrace). Il villaggio ha una scuola primaria, un piccolo museo del fabbro, diversi negozi e ristoranti. offre un servizio regolare di traghetti dal porto della baia fino alla , sulla terraferma scozzese. St Margaret's Hope è anche conosciuta per il suo Boys' Ploughing Match annuale, una tradizione locale in cui giovani ragazzi scavano nella sabbia presso la vicina Sand of Wright, mentre le giovani ragazze (o anche i ragazzi, anche se oggi è una rarità) indossano costumi tradizionali da cavallo, in un Festival del Cavallo. Tracce scarse di un broch dell'età del ferro si possono trovare in un campo nei pressi della strada per Ontarf, sopra il villaggio. Il sito era in passato indicato dalle mappe OS di epoca vittoriana, ma con il passare del tempo e con gli unici indizi rimasti rappresentati da cropmark, le mappe moderne non ne riportano la posizione.
