Why visit Orkney?

Orkney is the most amazing place - you'll find you'll fall in love with it and want to return year after year. The amazing archaeology, history and culture of the islands and their people, the tranquility, the changing seascapes, big skys, the wildlife - all of these get a hold on you. Those of us lucky enough to live and work here all year round can't imagine why anyone would ever want to live anywhere else!

If you join us on one of our one-week Orkney Holidays you'll get a real feel for the beauty of our islands - and visit a huge variety of Orkney sites.  

Orkney is more than just the Mainland - our holidays also introduce you to the joys of visiting the smaller and less frequented of Orkney's islands.
