07712591019 The Islands of Orkney encompass around 70 islands and skerries in total, all of which are located at the very northern tip of Scotland, to the north east of the Highlands and Scottish mainland. The largest and therefore most populated island is referred to as the ‘Mainland’ and houses most of the 20,000 people that make their home in the Orkney Islands. The islands are home to beautiful rolling greenery, stunning lochs and heather moorland making then a wonderful place to visit for a Scottish countryside retreat. The extensive coastline of the Orkney Islands and temperate climate means that the islands are home to some spectacular wildlife, especially sea birds that nest in the cliffs. You can also spot fantastic grey and common seals on the shores and they may even spot you as you take a stroll along the beach as they swim off the shore. You can also look out for whales and dolphins from a boat or ferry and if you’re really lucky you may even catch a glimpse of a killer whale pod. On the other hand if you’re not a wildlife and nature enthusiast, the Orkney Islands also have a lot to offer in terms of attractions and interesting places to visit. Earl’s Palace, Stone O’Quaybune, Skara Brae and the Orkney Brewery may be of interest to you whilst visit the Orkney Islands. There is of course many more fantastic natural and man made attractions throughout the islands that you may enjoy visiting, or perhaps you already have a attraction in mind. When it comes to visiting the Orkney Islands, even a relaxing day on the beach and taking in the wonderful countryside is enough to keep most people happy.
