Orkney

Orkney is an island chain in the Northern Isles of Scotland. It is located 10 miles north of the coast of Caithness and is composed of 70 islands, of which 20 have settlements. The archipelago has a total area of 523 square miles, meaning that it is the 6th largest Scottish island and the tenth largest island in the UK. Kirkwall is Orkney's most comprehensive administrative centre. Orkney constitutes one of the 32 council regions of Scotland, along with being a constituency of the Scottish Parliament, a lieutenancy area and an one-time county. The regional council is Orkney Islands Council, being one out of three councils in Scotland that have a majority of elected members who are independents. The majority of the islands are divided into two groups, the North and South Isles, and a feature of all the islands is the existence of Old Red Sandstone. With a mild climate and significantly fertile soil, farming remains to be the most considerable area of the economy. Exportation of beef, cheese, whisky, beer and fish also continues to have a role in the economy, but there has been an increase in areas including retail, representing 17 percent of total employment. Growing in importance are the wind and marine energy sources, and the island produces more than its yearly electrical energy demand through these methods. In accordance with the 2011 census, Orkney has a population of 20100, growing 11 percent since the 2001 census. Various festivals occur on the islands which draw in large numbers of residents and citizens, such as the Orkney International Science Festival and the St. Magnus International Arts Festival occurring each year in June.

    FAQs

    What types of garden fencing are available?

    There are quite a few different types of garden fencing that are readily available, so you’ll have plenty to choose from. If you’ve got a strict budget, waney edge panel fencing is a good option. It’s made up of horizontal wood strips and is generally the cheapest type of fencing. Another good option is closed feather-edge panels. These are a really strong type of fence, made up of concrete posts and panels of vertical strips of wood.You can also get more decorative types of fencing with combinations of vertical and horizontal wood strips.

    Fence ownership: who owns that garden fence?

    When it comes to fence ownership and responsibility, this is often a subject of dispute between neighbours and understandably so. Owning a fence comes with a number of responsibilities such as arranging and paying for the maintenance and more. Therefore, if you’re not yet sure who owns the garden fence, then you’d probably want to have that sorted to make sure your property stays protected at all times. In this post, we’re going to give you an insight into some of the rules guiding fence ownership in order to help you make informed decisions. Let’s take a look!

     

    There’s no rule of thumb on whether you own the fence on the right hand or the left hand side of your property. Therefore, if you’ve heard any “rules that states otherwise, you can fling that out the window because not everyone will own the left hand side to their fence. The first way to determine who owns the garden fence or which side of the fence you’re responsible for is simply by looking. Although this is not guaranteed or a definite way to determine ownership, it can go a long way to give you a good idea. As you would have expected, fences are most likely built on the land that belongs to the boundary’s owner with the further edge of the fence making the actual boundary. As a result, you can determine a fence ownership simply by identifying where the frames are.

    Also, you can determine fence ownership using the title deeds for an official and accurate answer. A copy should be given alongside your paperwork which is received when purchasing your house.

    Do I need planning permission for fences?

    Not if they are under 1 metre high if next to a road or 2 metres high elsewhere. It’s always recommended to check with your neighbours and the local authority if you are unsure. Other restrictions may apply, for example if a fence might impact driver visibility on nearby roads.

    How to tell which fence is yours?

    If there’s a fence dividing yours and your neighbour’s properties that needs maintaining or replacing, you’ll want to know who owns it. Start by checking your deeds to see if there’s an existing boundary agreement. If there isn’t, have a chat with them to see if you can come to an arrangement yourselves.
