Almost the most northern part of uk!! If not for the wind, one can easily cycle around the island as it is relatively flat, with hardly any trees due to the wind! The island is inhibited by many seabirds, including the cute puffins which live in certain part! To me, it is their colourful beaks that attract my attention. They are tiny birds of maybe 6 inches in my estimate. The island is well own for the Neolithic archeological finds! I am glad I made the last minute swap from the hot Madrid 37 degrees to the winter like Orkney Islands of 13 degrees end of June 2023! Another interesting discovery are the sheep in North Ronaldsay, north of Orkney that feed entirely on seaweed!! I am glad to be able to buy some of the hats, scarfs and gloves made from this special wool on my last day!

Quark Expeditions includes in its "Arctic Saga: Exploring Spitsbergen via the Faroes & Jan Mayen" a visit to the Orkney Islands not long after embarking from Aberdeen, Scotland. As it was late April 2024, we knew to look for diverse wildlife, most notably birds, including puffins and other breeding seabirds, including Guillemots, Razorbills, Fulmars, Kittiwakes and Gannets. We were not disappointed.

Orknay Inseln. Ankunft im Hafen von Kirkwall. Kleiner Info- Point, Bushaltestelle, nette Menschen im grĂ¶ĂŸeren Info-Point mit Souvenir Shop helfen bei der ersten Orientierung im kleinen, schottischen StĂ€tdchen. Angekommen in der Innenstadt liegt rechter Hand die St. Magnus Kathedrale, dann folgen Earls Palace (Ruinen), eine alte Schule, typische WohnhĂ€user und ca. 2 km weiter, ansteigenden Weges gelangt man zur Highland Park Whisky Destille. Dort trifft (und auch auf dem Weg dahin) trafen wir auf hilfsbereite, freundliche Menschen die gerne Dinge zeigten und erklĂ€rten. Wenn man nur am guten Whisky interessiert ist, den findet man auch - wieder unten im StĂ€dchen angelangt- im Highland Park Whisky Shop, sowie noch einige andere kleine LĂ€dchen in denen man diverse Andenken kaufen kann. Mit dem Bus haben wir dann noch eine Tour gemacht. Stromness, Scapa Flow, Ring von Brodgar standen auf dem Programm. Dabei fĂ€hrt man durch die typisch, schottische, ĂŒberwiegend landwirtschaftlich geprĂ€gte Landschaft. FĂŒr Fans nordischer Schönheit absolut sehenswert. Schaut euch die Bilder an đŸ€©
