In Focus
The rather splendid Orkney Brewery and Visitor Centre can be found in Quoyloo, on Orkney's West Mainland. What you find is an attractive and high quality modern brewery in a purpose-built extension on the rear of the former school.

Featured Book
A Scotsman Returns: Travels with Thomas Telford in the Highlands and Islands by Paul A Lynn (29 October 2021).
This is a book about the great Scottish engineer Thomas Telford (1757-1834) which revisits the places in the Highlands and Islands
where he achieved so much. We retrace a Highland Tour made by Telford and the Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, in 1819. The two men
were drawn together by Telford's love of poetry and Southey's admiration of the engineer's remarkable work in the Highlands. Southey
kept a journal of the tour, which remained unpublished for a century.
