In this week’s The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now in shops and is available online here.

Also in the newspaper is this month’s edition of the Orkney Menu advertising feature which includes an opportunity to win a £100 voucher, alongside a guide to all the greatest places to eat in the county.
