A PITTENWEEM woman is to make her debut as an author with a tale centred on the Italian prisoners taken to Orkney during the Second World War.
In early 1942, over 500 Italian PoWs captured in North Africa were brought to the Scottish islands to labour on the construction of the Churchill Barriers.
Kirsten McKenzie (32) has now used their time on Orkney as the core of her first book 'The Chapel at the Edge of the World'.
It tells the story of the creation of the historic chapel that the men built.
