This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available from all the usual outlets and online, here.

This week’s paper is 64 pages, while the eight-page Peedie Orcadian for our younger readers is also out this week.

This week’s front page features the ‘desperate’ situation on Papay as the petrol pumps run dry, leaving islanders at a standstill.
