Sunday 23rd January 2011
Rumours are rife. The police, along with 3 plain clothes detectives and sniffer dogs have been checking all the people and every car coming off the ferry at Stromness and they have been into the Stromness pubs with their dogs.
A tip off about drugs seems to be the most popular idea but explosives are also getting quite a lot of backing. A bomb on the ferry has been suggested but that does not seem to be getting much support.
I can not really see most terrorists even knowing where Orkney is, let alone bothering to come all the way up here.
Your average traditional islamic terrorist would stand out a bit up here anyway, especially out of the tourist season (unless of course he said that he came from North Ronaldsay as everyone elso thinks that all the folk on North Ron are weird).
On Monday the police and dogs were in one of the Kirkwall pubs and we moved some furniture into the extension. These two things are unrelated, being only connected by the fact that they happened on the same day.
Duncan was up again, supposedly to collect some more stuff but I think that he is just missing his tea and scones.
Apparently the police have not caught anybody with all their activity so maybe there was nothing anyway. Still it will have given any local rogues a fright and been a bit of excitement for the police. It has got to be better than catching a drunk urinating in the street or dealing with a domestic.
