The Hands Across the Firth blog is a joint project between the Dunnet Head Educational Trust and the Scapa Flow Interpretation Centre in Lyness, Hoy. The Trust joined the Orkney Tourism Group in 2008 in a privately led initiative to develop cross Pentland Firth projects. The first idea was to have a Pan Pentland Walking Festival based on the Trust's experience of organising the Caithness & Sutherland Walking Festival. To date, this has not materialised, but we are ever hopeful that this will take place in the future.
In 2009, the Trust took part in the Orkney Science Festival by having an exhibition in Deerness promoting the WWII aspects of Dunnet Head and Burifa Hill. There were links between Orkney and the mainland during the War with the Gee station and Radar Station at Burifa Hill and Dunnet Head respectively. The Trust also launched exhibitions in Stromness and Kirkwall libraries which were well received. In 2010, the Trust will again promote Dunnet Head in the Orkney Science Festival on 4th September as Family Day.
