    The Kirk in the Garden of Evie

    THE KIRK IN THE GARDEN OF EVIE A Thumbnail Sketch of the History of the Church in Evie Trevor G Hunt Minister of the linked Churches of Evie, Firth and Rendall, Orkney First Published by Evie Kirk Session Evie, Orkney. 1987 Republished 1996 ComPrint, Orkney 908056 Forward to the 1987 Publication This brief history was compiled for the centenary of the present Evie Church building and I am indebted to all who have helped me in this work. I am especially indebted to the Kirk’s present Session Clerk, William Wood of Aikerness, who furnished useful local information, searched through old Session Minutes, and compiled the list of ministers for Appendix 3. Alastair Marwick of Whitemire, Clerk to the Board, supplied a good deal of literature, obtained a copy of the Title Deeds, gained access to the “Kirk aboon the Hill”, and conducted a tour (even across fields in his car) to various sites. He also contributed valuable local information and I am grateful for all his support. Thanks are also due to Margaret Halcro of Lower Crowrar, Rendall, for information about her name sake, and to the Moars of Crook, Rendall, for other Halcro family details. And to Sheila Lyon (Hestwall, Sandwick), who contributed information about Margaret Halcro (of the seventeenth century!). TREVOR G HUNT Finstown Manse March 1987 Foreword to the 1996 Publication Nearly ten years on seemed a good time to make this history available again, and to use the advances in computer technology to improve its appearance and to make one or two minor corrections.. I was also anxious to include the text of the history as a page on the Evie, Firth and Rendall Churches’ Internet site for reference and, since revision was necessary to do this, it was an opportunity to republish in printed form.

  • NHS Orkney Asset Management Summary 2019 to 2029

    NHS Orkney Asset Management Summary 2019 to 2029

    Appendix 5 NHS Orkney Asset Management Summary 2019 to 2029 Planning Regionally, Delivering Locally 1. Introduction NHS Orkney is the smallest territorial health board in Scotland and is responsible for the health care of the population of Orkney. The Board employs around 620 staff and provides a comprehensive range of primary, community-based and acute hospital services. This year has seen the handover of the new Balfour hospital and healthcare facility. This exciting opportunity provides state of the art facilities which is matched by ambitious plans for services and staff across Orkney. 2018-2019 was the last complete financial year prior to the completion of the new Balfour hospital and healthcare facility. It was not however, the sole focus of attention and many other aspects of service delivery have continued to be developed. Although small in scale, NHS Orkney delivers a full range of clinical services, hospital and community based and in common with many other health systems across Scotland face challenges in terms of meeting rising demand, rising costs and perhaps most significantly recruitment to key posts, clinical and non-clinical. 2. Strategic Plan The full scale of NHS Orkney’s priorities for investment aimed at responding to both the current and future challenges it faces, and to deliver its emerging service model include: • Development of integrated hospital and health care facilities incorporating a Rural General Hospital supported by appropriate community rehabilitation and enablement services. • Development of two new primary care hubs to the East and West Mainland. • Improvements to primary and community care facilities to ensure they support the provision of safe and sustainable clinical services to each local community.
