About our Orkney news

Latest news on Orkney, an archipelago located off the northeastern coast of mainland Scotland. It consists of about 70 islands, with the largest and most populated ones being Mainland, Hoy, and South Ronaldsay.

One of the most notable historical sites in Orkney is the Neolithic village of Skara Brae, which is often referred to as the "Scottish Pompeii" due to its well-preserved state. Skara Brae provides a fascinating insight into the lives of Neolithic people, showcasing their advanced construction techniques and the layout of their homes.
