What wonderful people you are! Thanks for your support.

Scotland will be making a big statement at the COP27 in Egypt, where the Red Sea is one of the great fishing basins of our planet. And Nicola Sturgeon and Mairi McAllan, our Environment Minister, are going to the conference to talk about how great Scotland is and how our wee nation is supporting 'Blue Carbon'. Great stuff! But Blue Carbon means stopping the destruction of our seaweed, kelp fields and sea grass and the intertwined marine ecosystem which acts as a sink for carbon..... that means halting anymore industrial fish farms. Enough is enough! Not just in Papa Westray - but across all the beautiful shores of Scotland.

We'll share the content of this letter over the weekend!

Meantime, thanks to Chris Rutterford, who is building a new place on Papa Westray, for this fantastic artwork.
