October In Orkney…..

“New products from Orkney
It has been another busy summer for Orkney’s creative community, with many makers welcoming visitors from around the world into their workshops, studios, and galleries. Now, with autumn arriving, attention is turning to creating new products to add to their already fabulous ranges. Take a look at some of the excellent and innovative items you can buy from our Creative Orkney and Taste of Orkney members right now. It’s time to treat yourself to something special from the islands.
Looking back at an Orkney summer
As is always the case during an Orkney summer, you never quite know what the weather will throw at you. But when the sun is shining and the cloud cover is just right, you're guaranteed to get some beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and the chance to see our land and seascapes covered in colour. Local photographer Robbie Thomson spent much of the summer months out and about with his camera and his drone, capturing some stunning scenery from across the Orkney mainland. Now, as we slide into autumn, it seems like the perfect time to ask him to share the story of his summer.
Time for a story from Orkney
Tickets for the 2023 Orkney Storytelling Festival will go on sale from 1st October, with another packed programme of events planned over the last weekend of the month. The festival, organised by the Orcadian Story Trust, celebrates Orkney’s oral tradition and the art of storytelling around the world. Featuring story walks, special locations, island hopping adventures, and plenty of story sessions in-between, the festival has become an established and much-loved annual event on the Orkney calendar since it returned in 2010.
Local wildlife
Local wildlife photographer Raymond Besant has been exploring the world beneath Orkney’s waves this month.
