The Island Games will be held here in Orkney in just 6 months. To mark our continued partnership with the Island Games, we were treated to a visit from Ola the Orca at The Balfour last week.

My sister is fundraising for @ScotAirAmb running the St Magnus Marathon relay (in a team with combined age of 147yrs!).
The SCAA is a vital part of healthcare in remote, rural and island communities such as #Orkney
Please donate if you can. Thank you!

In a world full of opportunities to connect and uplift one another, kindness has the power to shine brightly.
What if we made kindness the norm, the foundation of how we live and interact every day?

It would be a Christmas miracle if we could reunite this teddy with their owner! π
If you were on an Edinburgh service today and your little one has lost their favourite cuddly toy, please send us a message. π

All you folk moaning about the drs striking, theyβre the first people youβll see when you get admitted to hospital. They get the average hourly wage for literally saving lives. Youβre paying more to get your boiler fixed. You have no idea what they do on a daily basis.
