In this week’s edition of The Orcadian

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

This week’s front page features:

• Should we tax our tourists? Following a backlash over plans to introduce a “tourist tax” in Orkney, those behind proposals argue that the idea has been misrepresented.

• A peedie taster of our agricultural show coverage. For full reports, see pages 19-26.

Also in this week’s paper:

• The Kirkwall woman who has launched a campaign to stop the name of the hospital being changed when it relocates.

• News of funding for harbour improvements in Westray.

• Orkney’s stoat eradication scheme moves forward as Scottish Natural Heritage moves to engage with local landowners, after receiving £64,600 in funding.

• A sneak peek at what’s on show at the new wildlife centre in Rendall.

For all these stories, plus much more, pick up a copy of today’s edition of The Orcadian.
