Words: James Greenwood
Britain’s most northerly crazy golf course opens in Orkney this weekend, marking the culmination of a year-long effort by an island community.
The 12-hole course in Burray depicts famous islands landmarks, including the Old Man of Hoy, Skara Brae stone-age village and Scapa Flow.
The course is part of a new £74,000 community park development in Burray village. Funding for the park has come from Orkney Islands Council, Sport Scotland Legacy 2014, Awards for All and Scottish Sea Farms. The 400-strong Burray community has raised more than £8,000 towards the project costs, with local people stepping in to help.
