Signature Food Festival
Some of the UK's most celebrated chefs are heading north this November, and you don't need a trip to London to taste their cooking.
For three dark November evenings, Stromness becomes an open-air gallery of light. From 12 to 14 November, members of the Móti Collective and other Orkney artists fill the streets with video projections and sculptures made of light, laid out as a walking trail through the old harbour town. The festival takes its name from the closing line of Lux Perpetua, a poem by George Mackay Brown, who lived in Stromness most of his life. It's free and open to everyone, so wrap up warm and wander the trail after dark. The Móti Collective will share the artworks and where to find them closer to the time.
