The Orcadian is the oldest newspaper in Orkney, Scotland, first published in 1854. At first a monthly paper, it soon became a weekly. The newspaper is based in Kirkwall but printed in Glasgow for sale every Thursday.[1] It is part of the Orkney Media Group, formed out of a partnership with a competing newspaper, Orkney Today, in 2007.[2]
