It looks like Rubus spectabilis (Salmonberry).

Many thanks I had never seen it before , see it has managed to naturalise here so the couple of pieces I acquired might just root!:D

Thought I had seen something on the internet about Salmonberry being an invasive plant so did a quick search and came up with 2 relevant links for you. I would not want your land to be over run with it as it looks like it can cause problems. http://www.orkneycommunities.co.uk/WOODLAND/documents/LEAFLETS/salmonberry.pdf and http://www.caithnessbiodiversity.org.uk/projects/salmonberry/ :)
