There are plenty of things to see and do in Orkney Islands, from exploring the St. Magnus Cathedral and Viking heritage, island hopping using local ferries, enjoying artisan shopping and art, and listening out for traditional Scottish words you might hear only island natives using. You can also enjoy some of the most incredible landscapes in the UK with an abundance of wildlife nearby. Base yourself in Kirkwall, once a quiet place of contemplation, to enjoy all the island can offer.
