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

Our front page features an excellent photograph from Tuesday’s Royal visit as Glaitness Primary School bairns take the opportunity to have a yarn with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

Inside, we have three pages of coverage, detailing the day, including speaking to the restaurant owner where William and Kate dined, and the Kirkwall couple who hosted their very own special Royal tea party in their own back garden.

Also in this week’s newspaper is a fantastic competition offering one lucky reader the opportunity to win a stunning Aurora bangle and neckwire, showcased on hit TV series, Outlander.
