| | LPG refillable systems,  worth knowing |  | 
 We were on Orkney recently with  the motorhome (and the mighty Gayped),  weather was typical (i.e. Baltic). 
Due to a rare unforced error, I did not check the state of the gaslow system, and we ran out.
 There is nowhere (yes nowhere) on Orkney that dispenses LPG at a Pump. In fact the nearest one is at Dornoch (actually the Tall Pines Gleaner station) . As the weather was really cold and we had no heating , we had to evacuate back down Dornoch on the next ferry.
 
 We did stay at the Brora CC site instead though,  which was a bit of a result as the weather picked for the few days we were there,  and that site is a really nice spot. Used the mighty Gayed to get around Embo,  Dornoch,  Golspie etc etc
 
 So , if you are ever venturing north of Inverness , check you LPG before you go!!
