Orkney
With its green fields and hills, stone pinnacles rising out of the sea, rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, it is an ideal island destination for getting away from it all. There are many opportunities for walking, fishing, bird watching and seal spotting.
Designated as a World Heritage Site, Orkney is rich in history dating from the Stone Age to the Picts and Vikings.
You can visit standing stones, underground tombs and ancient brochs.
Kirkwall is a beautiful old town where you can see St Magnus Cathedral, the Earl's Palace and Bishop's Palace. There are plenty of craft shops and eating places, or you can watch the ferries sailing in and out of the busy harbour.
There's so much to see and do in Orkney that even after a week's holiday, you'll still want to come back for more!
