In this week’s The Orcadian

October 2, 2024 at 2:30 pm

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

On the front page, we look at the issue of wild camping, as reports of tent dwellers in public places cause concern.

We also pose the question, is the dental service in Orkney in crisis?

This comes as the pool of dentists in the county has contracted so much that at times, there was no dentist “physically in the department” at The Balfour.

Also included this week is The Peedie Orcadian for our peedie readers, with the front page this month featuring Freya Evans, who starred in The Outrun, which is receiving rave reviews since being released in cinemas on Friday, September 27.
