Orkney
Where the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet, you'll find the dramatic cliffs and unspoilt landscapes of Orkney. Situated off of the most northern tip of mainland Scotland, this archipelago of islands offers you the chance to escape to somewhere unique; where 5,000 years of history can be found next to tranquil shores, the arts and delicious seafood.
Kick off your shoes and enjoy the miles of peaceful, sandy beaches, where the Gulf Stream provides a surprisingly warm climate and the rugged dunes provide a home to a rich abundance of wildlife.
