Today we began our first production of sanitiser at The Orkney Distillery. Pictured is our co-founder Aly Kemp filling the first bottle. Over the coming days our Team will be producing both spray and gel sanitiser. Please follow our Facebook page for updates
In #Orkney if you hear the word twat people are almost certainly referring to Twatt which is a place in the west mainland. Twatt comes from the Old Norse þveit or thveit meaning clearing or meadow. It also appears in Norway as tveit and Sweden as tveta. #ShareAFactNoOneAskedFor
@Lochlomonden@OrkneyLibrary I hope you are both safe and well. I bought my son in law one of your books. He loved it and I am just going to start reading it. 😊
Orkney: A Historical Guide https://t.co/4Ql3bBXdRL great book. Especially interesting following our visit to Orkney last year. Made more special by @seeorkney tours with whom we spent the day visiting many fascinating places on the islands. Not to mention fab @OrkneyLibrary

100 years ago, the Stones of Stenness in #Orkney were as much a source of wonderment as they are today. Great photo from @HistEnvScot archive - got a similar view to share? https://t.co/QzHjI7yMC7 #explorearchives
