In Focus
The Longhope Lifeboat Museum is an outstanding example of what can be achieved by volunteers coming together
to preserve a fascinating and pivotal - and at times tragic - element of the area's identity and heritage. Whatever you do, if you have decided to take
in the very different atmosphere of the conjoined islands of Hoy and South Walls in Orkney,
make sure you allow time between ferries to visit the Longhope Lifeboat Museum. (

Featured Book
Thicker Than Water by Ken Lussey (15 September 2024).
A compelling murder mystery set in northern Scotland. Callum Anderson and Jenny Mackay are spending Hogmanay at Sarclet Castle in Caithness
when they are asked to investigate the brutal murder of a young woman at nearby Sarclet Broch in 1943, a woman whose ghost is believed to haunt
the castle. What seems the coldest of cold cases is not the first murder of a young woman at the broch. Nor is it the last.
On the day that Callum and Jenny arrive, there is a third fatal stabbing there.
