Orkney tours

The splendid Orkney Islands are only six miles off the Northern Coast of Scotland, yet their unique isolation and the fierce independence of their population makes them feel a world away from the mainland. Drink in the dramatic island landscapes and prehistoric sites on a private Orkney tour with a local guide who wants to share the magic of their homeland with you. The Orkney island chain is made up of 70 islands, only 17 of them inhabited. Your guide's aim is to keep you away from the summer crowds and show you the true flavour of the islands. Using the causeways, you can hop from island to island, drinking in history both recent and ancient. The Orkneys have the highest concentration of prehistoric sites in Europe - be sure to soak up the energy emanating from the numerous standing stones dotting the landscape. Your guide is happy to design a private Orkney tour that reflects your unique interests in these ancient and evocative islands.
