Those were the days when Orkney could be run by some 20 Administrative Staff! How many are involved today bearing in mind the geographical size has altered none and the population is somewhat similar? Furthermore, there are no hand-written ledgers these days as we are now in the era of computers. Interesting thoughts!

Douglas Wood was my Grandfather. If anyone has more pictures I would be very grateful if you could send them via email or post them on this site. Thank you
