Wonderful start to Sunday in the Harray Hall with a fantastic concert combining 🇸🇪 Swedish folk and classical music 🎶. Folk From The North Lands with Musica Vitae started with this traditional Norwegian folk dance which may, or may not, have Scottish origins. The group’s stirring music had vibrations from the hall’s wooden floor resonating up through the seats. The concert ended with a traditional Swedish fika - enormous cinnamon buns from the Eviedale bakery washed down by coffee and tea. Th

Orkney Islands Council hired a helicopter to transfer a 16-foot long radar scanner to the site, high on Orkney's west coast.
