Big tides

The next two tides are among the highest and the lowest for the year, so check your moorings. At 00.55am (BST) there is a high tide of 3.3m, which is probably lipping at the edge of Holm pier, and with a gentle North wind it should look pretty high in Kirkwall too, and the current low pressure will have an effect as well.

Low water on Friday morning is at 7.22 am (BST) and is 0.0m, the lowest predicted tide, although meteorlogical effects can come into play and mean it can be lower, and lower at other times.

So if you are up early tomorrow, rich pickings on the shore!

News context

Orkney was served by two local newspapers, The Orcadian, and its sister paper Orkney Today, both papers being printed and published in Kirkwall, and coming out on a Thursday, until the Orkney Today was shut down in October 2010. The Orcadian continues, with a healthy circulation of around 10,000.

Further afield, Aberdeen's Press and Journal has a Northern Isles edition and carries Orkney news, and likewise the BBC website has a North East/Northern Isles section, reflecting Orkney and Shetland's traditional transport links with Aberdeen.

Orkneycommunities.co.uk is a focal point for the websites of over 100 community groups, and they can submit their news stories and events directly to its front page. But most news in Orkney emanates from the local authority, the Orkney Islands Council.
