A fascinating new exhibition, ‘Finding Dr Garvie’, is on at the Pier Arts Centre, Stromness from 15 March to 26 April. The exhibition is part of a wider project to discover  the women doctors who worked in Orkney in the early days before the NHS was created. 

The project has an informative blog which it is developing as more stories come to light  Orkney Women Doctors Project (1894 to 1948)

And a Facebook page: Orkney Women Doctors (1894 to 1948)
