In this week’s The Orcadian

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

Our front page this week features reaction from Orkney’s leaders to the news that, from Monday, the county is set to be in Level One of the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 restrictions.

Also, we ask whether the Liberal Democrats poor overall performance in the recent Scottish Parliament elections will curb re-elected Orkney MSP Liam McArthur’s ability to raise and resolve island issues?
