Maintaining the Orcadian tradition of a Blackening of a couple soon to be married, in Stromness today, complete with noise, being tied to a pole and covered in gunk (probably can't get coal soot any more!). Our own Fiona @fionaorkneynews wrote about this tradition some time back https://theorkneynews.scot/2020/03/02/an-orkney-blackening/ Pic of the bridal couple taken with their happy permission. Best wishes to them for their July wedding.
