With a proud Norse Heritage Orkney has settled over the years into a wonderful archipelago of around seventy islands off the North coast of Scotland. The prehistory of this remarkable island can be witnessed in the standing stones, burial chambers and St Magnus cathedral.
There is world class diving in the Scapa Flow and quiet beaches at the foothills of munros where days can be spent beachcombing, rock pooling or building sandcastles. Our Orkney cottages set you in a beautiful, historic and welcoming flurry of islands.
