Orkney Islands Essentials

The Orkney Islands feature a dense concentration of archaeological treasures, including the 5,000-year-old village of Skara Brae and the Neolithic monuments of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO site. The archipelago’s history spans from the Iron Age Broch of Gurness to the Viking-era St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. Modern history is preserved at the Italian Chapel, built by POWs during WWII, while the Highland Park Distillery represents the islands' long-standing whisky-making tradition alongside dramatic coastal landforms like The Gloup and Marwick Head.
