Discover the beauty of the Orkney Islands, a remote archipelago off Scotland's northeast coast, known for its neolithic sites, dramatic landscapes, and vibrant arts scene.

The Orkney Islands are adorned with neolithic stone circles, spiralling cliffs, lush farmland, and picturesque coves. The islands, located off Scotland's north-east coast, are known for their awe-inspiring landscapes and unique weather phenomena such as the aurora borealis. Home to the UNESCO -listed 'Heart of Neolithic Orkney' and with a population of around 22,000 people spread across 20 inhabited islands, the area is a haven for artists, poets, hikers, and photographers.
