    Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology.

    Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology. Mellow people. Decent public transportation on Mainland. Long, rich history. Beautiful place. Good charity shops and much locally made jewelry. Welcoming services at the cathedral and the Catholic Church. Good restaurants, but suggest you make reservations in advance.

    The Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel are wonderful and full of fascinating wartime history. Maeshowe was a great visit with the commentary from our guide full of humour and interest. Ring of Brodgar and Stenness - atmospheric - as was Skara Brae. The St Magnus Cafe in Kirkwall is a great, casual eating place and the Ayre Hotel for something more formal - both with very good food.

    In our 2.5 day stay, we made every moment count. This is a beautiful place with majestic geologic features, beautiful landscapes with rolling hills of green lush grass and speckled with sheep (and lambs in May) and cattle (calves in May) and rock walls everywhere. We visited many neolithic sites, including Skara Brae and surrounding sites, all of which were an incredible historical markers, a kind of time travel experience. Visiting the Orkneys is an experience of a lifetime.

    Spectacular scenery, wildlife and history to explore plus a wealth of local creativity unique to the islands such as pottery, wood, tapestry, art and jewellery. Lovely local populations and plenty of information, museums and sights to keep you entertained if you’re not into walking. Good bus service on the mainland if you want to avoid driving but for some of the sights private vehicles necessary to avoid a long walk. Food options for vegans limited outside of Kirkwall and many restaurants have (understandably) varying opening hours to reflect demand

    From the NorthLink ferry ride along the Orkney coast (beautiful!), our enjoyable stay in the historic city of Kirkwall, to visits to the prehistoric sites of Skara Brae, the Standing Stones of Stenness, Meashowe, etc., the Orkney Islands have so much to offer. We would love to return to this beautiful island some day!

    Perfect location for exploring Orkney and super wee cottage with everything supplied. It was a bit difficult to find -our satnav had difficulties to start off with. Only problem we found was finding an evening meal after 8pm after the ferry arriving at 8pm - I'd recommend taking food to heat up in the cottage for the 1st night if arriving on 8pm ferry.
