Sitting at Kirkwall pier on this beautiful morning , watching the local creel boats heading out whilst I was waiting for guests to arrive . Blessed to live here.

I absolutely love guiding, I qualified as an STGA green badge guide for Orkney less than two years ago after a change of career… wow, I wasn’t prepared for what happened next, I hit the ground running , I have guided for some fantastic people form all around the world ,covering all kinds of interests from archaeology, culture,nature, social history and more . But what more of an affirmation than when people message to keep in touch and even better want to re visit . I recently had a tremendous young lady get in touch to ask to share recipes for baking, inspired by traditional Orkney baking, after being on a tour with me, that’s what makes it for me, sharing cultures, ways of life and a very real human connection. What a privilege..

Half day today so I took the chance to walk in some beautiful gardens with my husband and my dog Quinn, the flowers and trees were stunning, the bees were busy and it was so so peaceful. Bliss

Oatcakes , walked sixty two miles according to my fitbit, had five in person meetings and two zoom calls, tomorrow is a day for admin and another few meetings before spending precious time with my husband and beloved dog Quinn, then I start all over again on Tuesday. Busy times and loving all the people and places .

Off now for another magical day of touring , I just love it, hopefully see you all soon 😘

A very peaceful wander on the beach today… until I was summoned for ball throwing duty 😊

Swans, seashells, seapinks , sandy boots, showers of rain.
What an amazing morning spent walking the shore with my friend Martin Gray . A legendary beachcomber, naturalist , font of all knowledge and great company
I’ve learned so much about so many things today from Martin. We found groatie Buckie’s and beach treasures, had close encounters with a bumble bee and got licked by a cow inside a fisherman’s hut , we were joined by walkers sheltering from the rain and fed them oatcakes . Got soaked to the skin and clambered up a cliff…. Tremendous outing, thank you so much 😁

Myself and our driver Neil have had the most amazing day touring with a fantastic group. The sun mostly shone, we went to some very special places and something very magical happened. Two of
our guests went off shopping and came back with rings made by a local jeweller and renewed their vows to each other in the chapel in St Magnus cathedral and asked me to witness it for them .All very impromptu and so very moving. What a privilege to be part of this, I truly love my job, especially on days like these. ♥️🎉🍾

In the remote Orkney Islands of Scotland lies one of aviation’s most unusual records: the world’s shortest scheduled commercial flight. The route links the islands of Westray and Papa Westray, covering just around 1.7 miles and taking as little as 53 seconds in the air.

Far from being a novelty alone, this tiny flight plays an essential role in island life. Operated by Loganair, it provides a crucial transport link for local residents. With ferry crossings often affected by the unpredictable North Atlantic weather, the air service ensures people can reliably reach schools, workplaces, medical appointments, and family across the islands.

The experience is famously brief. Passengers often remark that the journey is over almost before it begins, with some joking that there isn’t even time to open a snack. In-flight service is minimal—typically limited to a quick greeting from the pilot—but the views make up for it, offering sweeping glimpses of rugged coastlines, patchwork fields, and the surrounding sea.

Despite its short duration, the flight has become something of a bucket-list experience for aviation enthusiasts and visitors. It highlights how aviation adapts to the needs of remote communities, turning geography’s challenges into practical solutions.

In a world where long-haul travel often grabs attention, this 53-second journey stands out as a reminder that even the shortest flights can leave a lasting impression.✈️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
