Wow! Funny how a pub or club can struggle to get a late licence but when it comes to the folk festival it’s a different story. I’m sure the residents of Brevik Cottages (supported housing for some of our older generation situated directly behind Islesburgh) will enjoy being kept up till after 2am with the noise…
