Welcome to Orkney

The Standing Stones of Stenness - Midsummer Sunset

This guide is designed to help visitors to our islands, as well as residents, find their way around and enjoy the many places of interest which are to be seen and experienced. Apart from the main sites, many of the less-frequented places and islands are described. It is hoped that folk will find the same pleasure as the author in discovering Orkney, as we have some of the best archaeological sites and bird-watching opportunities in Europe and so much else to see and do that you will certainly want to come back for another visit!

and much more...
