It's a little known fact that Otis Redding spent time in Hoy, #Orkney during the 1920s while engineer Ernest Cox carried out salvage work on the scuttled German fleet, as shown in this photograph. Otis was often seen sitting on the dock in Mill Bay, watching the tide roll away.

#BookyMcBookface is away on the ferry to the beautiful #Orkney island of Westray today. Last winter we filmed a full day of travelling from the library to Westray, around the island, and back again. 12 and a half hours in 2 minutes. Hold on tight! 💨
