Shock new look for Cathedral

E-mail PDF

A blueprint seemingly showing a shocking new 'patriotic' look for St Magnus Cathedral has been discovered.

Carrying the Historic Scotland logo, the depiction of the beloved SMC shows it in red, white and blue, and also gold - presumably symbolising the London Olympics to take place in 2012, and a likely tie-in with the Olympic Torch procession that will visit the islands later in the year.

[Actually it's the interpretation board on the Moosie Tooer showing the various ages of bits of the Cathedral ... but you knew that, didn't you?]

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.
