Exploring the Wonders of The Orkney Islands

The Orkney Islands are made up of around 70 islands, consisting of the Mainland and numerous other smaller isles. These islands are located off the northeastern corner of Scotland in the North Sea. The archipelago has a diverse range of topography, including sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, rolling grasslands and heather-clad moorland. The coastline features many impressive sea stacks, sheltered coves and jagged sea caves of varying shapes and sizes.

Golfers will be in their element here too, with over 50 golf courses, greens and fairways to choose from.

For an even more memorable experience, cross the sea to Cumbrae or Arran – two picturesque islands filled with attractions such as Goat Fell on Arran. Here you can take in exquisite views as well as explore the quaint seaside town of Millport, with its Britain’s smallest cathedral. Whatever you do in Ayrshire & Arran, it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience.
