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

I loved talking to @MDDUS about life as a GP in Orkney, a job full of rewards & unique challenges. I’ve also learned the importance of looking after my own health along the way. Thanks to @KirstinShearer for the photos. mddus.com/real-stories-from-… #GeneralPractice #RuralHealth #GP

Does #Orkney know that in 22/23 we were @ScotAirAmb single busiest island destination, with 46 missions to Orkney? My sister is raising money for @ScotAirAmb by running Orkney's marathon with Mum and her partner. All donations make a real difference💛 justgiving.com/page/the-thre…

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

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