The Royal Mail has called in police to investigate after a post box in Orkney was "destroyed by fireworks".

The box is at a junction on Sandwick Road near Dounby, known locally as Maggie Garson's corner.

A spokesperson said customers were being asked to use other postboxes until a new box could be installed.

She added that that might take "some time".
