In this week’s edition of The Orcadian

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

This week’s front page asks if the tiny island of Hunda could be about to change the face of Orkney as we know it, as plans are announced that could potentially see it become a global container hub.

With today’s edition being the last before Christmas day we would also like to wish a very Merry Christmas to all our readers.

Also in this week’s newspaper:

• Coverage from last weekend’s ‘Santa Fun Run.’

• Proposed plans for a new salmon farm are in Scapa Flow are rejected by Orkney Islands Council.

• As we enter Ba’ season we have a two-page preview to get you primed for the upcoming games.

• The battle for fair ferry funding continues with the announcement of Orkney Islands Council’s settlement for 2018-19.
