Welcome to the Charmingly Remote, Yet Accessible

The sea is seemingly everywhere. The sky is never-ending. On Scotland’s time-worn Orkney Islands—two thirds of which are uninhabited—you will find storm-battered cliffs, ancient stone circles, and ominous-looking “sea stacks,” which rise from the churning water. And one of the many reasons we love it: this far-flung archipelago of the North Sea was also once ruled by the Vikings, of course!
