In this week’s edition of The Orcadian

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

This week’s front page features stories on:

• With the last survivor of the sinking of HMS Royal Oak passing away this week, a vow is made to all those lost in the tragedy that their experiences will never be forgotten.

• Heroic Hound — The proud owner of an elderly Jack Russell terrier recounts how she is lucky to be alive, thanks to the quick action of her faithful pooch.

Also in this week’s paper:

• Loganair has confirmed this week that it will work with Aberdeen Airport operators to help improve services for passengers following an incident that saw a number of patients — some of whom were returning from Aberdeen Royal Infirmary — claiming to have been left to sit in a “bitterly cold” departure lounge for two hours, waiting for a flight.

• Kirkwall’s St Magnus Lane toilets are to be reopened ASAP following a review of the issue at a meeting of councillors this week.

• A double-page preview ahead of this season’s four Ba’ games, featuring information about the makers and throwers as well as word from the games’ committee.
