Well the snow has nearly all gone here in Westray, but it was nice while it lasted.  Everything always looks so nice with a fresh fall of snow, a great leveler even a scruffy garden looks nice after snow. We had a ride around our little island and got some nice snowy scenes photo's, it's at times like these I wish that I was more able bodied. It would be great to get wrapped up warm and go for a long walk, Westray is great for walkers no big hills and beautiful scenery and wildlife. Wednesday saw us in Kirkwall for the day, we also had a good drive around Mainland looking at the snowy hills. We then treat ourselves to fish chips tea bread and butter, before the ferry home.

Thanks for the info on the web site, actually already looked there and just wondered if anyone knew about the local shore fishing.

Hello Molly,

I don't know first hand. My son works ona creeling boat (yes I know that's not what your asking) and say's he will ask his boss tomorrow, as he's lived here all his life.

In the meantime you might find the Fishing in Orkney page http://www.visitorkney.com/fishing.asp helpful.
