SOE

Inverlair Lodge and similar SOE properties are said to have inspired the plot to 1960s TV drama The Prisoner, which starred Patrick McGoohan.

War-time prime minister Winston Churchill enthusiastically supported the formation of SOE, and ordered its agents to "set Europe ablaze".

SOE was disbanded after the war and Inverlair Lodge was vacated and fell into disrepair.

The Shetland Bus convoys were part of the Norwegian branch of the SOE, supporting the resistance movement in Norway.

Hundreds of kilometres away, the former imam of Myoma mosque, Soe Nay Oo, felt the quake in the Thai border town of Mae Sot.
