2 Weeks of Calm!
Orkney is a hard island to describe. Best left alone if your into clubbing and pubbing. On the other hand if you're into wide open spaces, endless skys, wild seas, and the only sound to interrupt your breakfast being the call of a Curlew then maybe it's for you. It's a place I love and have returned to several times - for peace and a change of pace I haven't found anything to rival it. Below are a few photos of the croft we stayed in. Situated on the north othe mainland it had the benefit of a sympathetic renovation on the outside and mod cons on the inside - underfloor heating being one of them (one had limitations as to how authentic the experience needed to be!) the back garden looked onto Marwick Bay and it was hard not to take a million photos as the light there changes minuite by minuite, first revealing, then concealing the landscape.
