Orkney Islands, Scotland brings together wave-cut cliffs, Norse history, and long summer light. Walk the St Magnus Way between Kirkwall and Stromness, follow the coast from the Bay of Skaill past Skara Brae, or cross Hoy to Rackwick Bay and the Old Man of Hoy. From Westray’s Noup Head to the glens above Broadiface, Orkney feels elemental, storied, and unmistakably northern.
