Orkney Islands, Scotland

The Orkney Islands, a group of more than 70 islands and islets, only about 20 of which are inhabited—in Scotland, lying about 20 miles (32 km) north of the Scottish mainland, across the strait known as the Pentland Firth. View it in HD (1080p) if possible.
Orkney is a prosperous farming area despite its fragmentation. Its farms are small and owner-occupied, averaging about 35 acres (14 hectares) and using modern mechanical methods to achieve high productivity. Skara Brae, an underground village on the west coast of the island of Mainland is one of the most complete European relics of the late Neolithic Period; this location and several others on the island collectively were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. Norse raiders arrived in the late 8th century and colonized the islands in the 9th century; thereafter the islands were ruled by Norway and Denmark.
Connections between Orkney and the Scottish mainland are good, with daily air service to Kirkwall from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Inverness and ferry connections from Stromness to Scrabster (just across the Pentland Firth), Aberdeen, and the Shetland Islands

There are various picturesque walks in Orkney, hence would recommend you do your research on the area and most importantly the weather, before you head out (and please ensure you have proper hiking gear).

I have produced a video that captures the stunning Orkney Islands and its surroundings, and it is now on YouTube for everyone to enjoy. Please check out my Instagram and Facebook accounts for more photos that I took during my visit.

Cheerio!
