If you are visiting with kids, the Orkney Library & Archive has a great room for kids with books and games, and a lovely sensory room too! Also brilliant for adults too of course 😁

Always something to do in Orkney .
I love the mill especially the fact that it still produces bere meal the traditional way .
I also love the way the building comes to life when the machinery and wheel are working . It’s hard to explain but it rumbles and vibrates and the sound fills the space . 😊

The South Isles are to benefit from an additional passenger ferry service over the summer months from Stromness to meet increased demand.

Successful berthing trials with the Nordic Sea were completed on June 15 and the ferry will begin running a daily summer timetable between Stromness, Flotta and Lyness from Monday 8 July through to 29 September 2024.

It is hoped the new service will alleviate some of the pressure on the Hoy Head passenger volumes throughout the summer season and provide additional connectivity to the Lyness Museum, which has seen high footfall over the summer period.

Orkney Ferries and the Transportation Service have liaised with the South Isles Community Councils and Elected Members regarding the draft timetable to be trialled this summer. Feedback was received and incorporated where possible.

I think I will book myself onto one of these tours . I love a stroll round the Cathedral graveyard and would love to hear the stories connected to the graves

We are delighted to announce the launch of a brand new St Magnus Cathedral tour, starting tomorrow, 8 May. Come and join the Cathedral Curator for a tour of the historic graveyard; the tours run every Wednesday at 1100, and there is no need to book.
