Orkney and Shetland
Scotland’s northern archipelago - where ancient history and Norse heritage meet windswept island beauty.
Orkney and Shetland are shaped by the sea, the sky, and thousands of years of stories, offering a unique blend of Scottish warmth and Scandinavian influence.
Orkney is a landscape of soft green fields, dramatic cliffs, and extraordinary archaeology. Explore Skara Brae, older than the pyramids; stand among the great stone circles of Stenness and Brodgar, and wander through Kirkwall with its magnificent St Magnus Cathedral.
Further north, Shetland is wilder and more rugged - a place of soaring sea cliffs, quiet crofting communities and deep Norse roots. Visit the ancient settlement of Jarlshof; explore Lerwick’s historic harbour, and watch for puffins, seals, and orcas along the Atlantic shores.
Across both island groups, you’ll find rich traditions, vibrant music and world-class wildlife.
