It was a pleasure to meet Ola! 🐳 6 months to go - and so excited about the @orkney2025 Island Games!
15 Jan 2025
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.

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? #RAOK

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