Orkney holidays offer something a little different for a UK getaway. You can immerse yourself in the unspoilt landscapes of these amazing islands and enjoy some time away from the hectic pace of everyday life.

Where is Orkney?

Orkney is a collection of stunning green islands at the tip of Northern Britain. Orkney can offer an abundance of natural landscapes and rich wildlife. Orkney is separated from the Scottish mainland by the Pentland Firth (a body of water just 64 miles wide). Only 4 of the 30 islands are actually inhabited and this makes this destination ideal for nature lovers. Although the landscapes are often bleak and uncompromising there are some amazing interactions between light and shade across the sky, land and sea. This creates deeply beautiful and breath-taking views that never cease to delight and amaze.
