For would-be and why-not dancers of all ages, with the Craig Mainland Band featuring Craig on accordion and Sinclair Taylor on drums. They’re going to start with the traditional Orkney version of the Eva Three Step, and then just to make sure they get everyone on the floor, they’ll follow with an Orcadian Strip the Willow. The evening includes supper and musical guests Twa Folk (Irene Watt and Graham White).
A one-day exhibition inside one of the buildings of the former World War II airfield. There are vintage cameras on display, along with a wide range of wartime photographs taken by 771 Naval Air Squadron who were based there. Andrew Hollinrake will be there all day to answer questions about the Photographic Unit.
The robots are coming! And here’s an opportunity to meet four of them on their expedition north from the National Robotarium in Edinburgh, each with different skills. Pepper recognises faces and basic human emotions. Spot is agile, with jointed legs, able to navigate carefully across all sorts of terrain. G1 didn't manage to get a name but can walk and react with human dexterity. And then there's Ameca ... who can laugh and shrug as well, and even dance!
