Carries age-related registration from the Scottish island of Orkney.

It would actually only have been issued by Orkney if it had been allocated in period.
The age-related plates are all issued by the DVLA in Swansea and just use numbers which never got very far due to their sparse population or remote location of their issuing office.  That's why so many age-related plates appear to be Scottish.
