Serco NorthLink Ferries has scheduled a later sailing to accommodate those visiting this weekend's Orkney County Show (Saturday, 9 August).

"We're very happy to be accommodating those attending and travelling with us and trust that they will enjoy the very best of what Orkney has to offer in terms of produce and crafts."

The annual Orkney County Show will include over 90 trade stands, an extensive entertainment programme and an agricultural show displaying local livestock at its very best. For more information visit www.orkneycountyshow.co.uk
