Accessed by several ferry operators, the enchanting Orkney Islands are located just 10 miles north of the coast of mainland Scotland, separated by the Pentland Firth. This archipelago consists of 70 islands, 20 of which are inhabited..
With green rolling fields bordered by huge seascapes, Orkney has an incredible allure and huge range of attractions. Visitors can enjoy extraordinary remains of villages, stone circles and tombs and the sunken fleet at Scapa Flow – there is over 5,000 years of human history to uncover here.
Orkney’s striking sea cliffs are home to thousands of birds, whilst seals, whales, and dolphins are frequently spotted in the clear waters surrounding the isles. There are tranquil beaches to stroll along, unique shops to visit and award-winning food and drink to sample.
