Why Visit the Orkneys?

Reason to visit Orkney #1: A Spectacular Coastline
The coastline on Orkney is dramatic and beautiful. There are rocky beaches and beautiful stretches of sand. If you are lucky, you may see whales. Unfortunately, we were not so lucky, but we still enjoyed the wonderful sea views and the surrounding landscape.

What is special about Orkney Islands?

Orkney contains some of the oldest and best-preserved Neolithic sites in Europe; the "Heart of Neolithic Orkney" is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Orkney also has an abundance of marine and avian wildlife.

Why should you visit Skara Brae?

Why is Skara Brae important? Skara Brae is one of the best preserved Neolithic settlements anywhere in Western Europe – which makes it a super-special find for archeologists. The amazing artefacts discovered at this incredible site give us an insight into what life was like in Britain during that time.
