The Orkney Islands have a population of less than 20,000 and two small but dedicated Local Quaker Meetings. Two are necessary because travel between the islands makes it impractical for all to meet together more than occasionally, so one group meets weekly on Mainland (Orkney’s largest island) and one meets daily on Westray with regular attendance varying from two to seven. Numbers are usually larger in the summer, when a wide selection of visitors attend.
