It’s amazing how obedient he can be when there’s a well-placed treat on offer. #dog #cockerspaniel #odin

Not a bad spot to take in @OrkneyFC v @bonar_fc today in the @NorthCaleyFA. 4-1 was the score as Orkney get back on track after a sticky period with back-to-back wins.

Looking forward to @Guernsey2021 @IslandGamesAsso in 2023! Missed out on Jersey in 2015 but covering Orkney’s achievements in Gotland @NWIslandGames in 2017 and Gibraltar in 2019 were definite career highlights!

This #ThrowbackThursday we're taking it back to the 2015 Natwest Island Games in Jersey, and some great shots of athletes from Team Orkney in their striking Kudos kit! 😍

80 Orcadian athletes competed and returned home with 2 silver medals and 3 bronze. 🥈🥈🥉🥉🥉

Great to speak to you @OrkneyBoreray and hope we continue to see the numbers of this unique and hardy sheep grow! Keep in touch!

Very pleased the Orkney Boreray project and Community got such a good write up in today's Orcadian.
For those not in Orkney, the newspaper can be viewed online if you'd like to read the whole article.

@scottda95388967 @CormackDavie 🤦🏼

[Mark Harcus @HarcusMark]

@scottda95388967 @AberdeenFC Nothing to do with the club or chairman. Get a grip and act your age, no your shoe size. Sort it out in the proper manner and channels rather than airing your dirty laundry on social media.

[Mark Harcus @HarcusMark]

@scottda95388967 @AberdeenFC Complete tit. Showing one side of an argument which has obviously escalated on both sides, sharing it on a public forum and then calling on the club to issue a public apology on behalf of a player involved in a private business dispute.
