    Make sure you both book ahead and download the guide before...

    Make sure you both book ahead and download the guide before going. Orkney is far less accessible than it used to be. Now wverything has to be booked ahead so the freedom of travel holiday I had a few years ago - seeing things on a whim is no longer available.. The Tomb of the Eagles has closed - rediculous.

    The location is superb and the silence absolute. Sunrise over the Loch was worth getting up for and, better than that, we got an auroral display that lasted 6 hours. Hugely memorable, and with Stenness, Skara Brae, Birsay and Brodgar are just down the road.
