I misread the headline as “Florida man” and was genuinely bewildered on how one of those guys got to Orkney.

"No wider threat" but it took three vehicles with blue lights and sirens and two ferry rides to get there.- and back.

Well, it warranted three armed response vehicles from the Scottish mainland, a police van, two fire engines, and an ambulance. Quite a lot of fuss indeed.
