An Encounter with Eagles

We have just returned from a photography workshop on the Isle of Skye which included a boat trip to view white tailed eagles in the wild – very exciting to see the UK’s largest bird of prey up close.

Creative Orkney’s first Christmas Fayre, shared with Orkney Food and Drink, this month was very successful, and we look forward to future Christmas events staged by Creative Orkney.

Orkney.com is continuing to launch a regular promotion specifically for new products from Orkney’s wide range of creative businesses.
