Read excerpt
The captain of a fishing vessel that ran aground near the Old Man of Hoy has thanked rescuers who airlifted all 17 people on board to safety.

North Isles councillor Stephen Clackson said he had never known such an atmosphere of “intimidation and toxicity”, while another councillor spoke of seeing long-time colleagues “in tears” as emotions ran high. A teaching representative also raised concerns on the impact th
Councillors call out 'misinformation' in LGBT schools debate - The Orcadian Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A “significant amount of misleading information” has enveloped a divisive debate on plans to introduce LGBT inclusive education in Orkney’s schools, five councillors have claimed.
