Post Office hours reduced at stretched Papdale Stores after Kirkwall branch shutdown - The Orcadian Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kirkwall’s remaining post office branch has had to reduce its hours, as an overflow of custom pushes staff to capacity. The team at Papdale Stores claim to have been given no warning ahead of the shock shutdown of the town’s main branch, last week. The corner shop branch has been left with the task of serving a town of 7,000 people, with no end in sight to the closure. “Before, the shop staff would be in behind the counter and someone would pop to the Post Office side whenever someone came in, a

An exodus of staff from the Junction Road branch, which was franchised to Universal Office Equipment (UOE) last November, is said to be behind the sudden closure. As a town of 7,
‘They just want to come back again and again...’ - The Orcadian Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Orkney is not just a “once in a lifetime” experience — it’s a destination that visitors feel drawn to return to again and again. So say the business folk who dedicate their time to offering holidaymakers, and folk looking for a break away not too far from home, an unforgettable time. “Forty-one per cent of my guests are return visitors,” says Kathy Bichan who has run Buxa Farm Chalets in Orphir, alongside her husband, Keith, since 2005. “A lot of them are from the UK — staycation visitors are re
