How to Reach the Orkney Isles on a Self-Catering Break

The Orkney islands are a remote self catering holiday destination.  These Scottish islands can be reached by plane or by ferry.  It is possible to catch ferries for the Orkney isles from Thurso (goes to Stromness) and Aberdeen (sails to Kirkwall).  

Orkney for Wonderfully Remote Cottage Holidays

It is little known that the Orkney isles are made up of around 70 islands in total but a number are uninhabited.   If it is natural beauty that you are after and an interesting coastline then the Orkney isles hold plenty of promise for a cottage holiday.   Orkney promises pristine beaches and plenty of opportunities for getting away from it all and everyone.

Things to See and Do on a Self-Catering Holiday in Orkney

If you enjoy wildlife watching then Orkney could be a good choice for you with its colonies of birds, seals and whale watching opportunities.   There are also some interesting historical sites on the Orkney isles which have achieved world heritage status, including Skara Brae, Maeshowe and the Ring of Brodgar.  It is also possible to visit historical Viking settlements on the Orkney Isles.  For remote self catering holidays there can be very few places that can compete with Orkney when it comes to getting away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland UK.  Enjoy browsing through any self catering accommodation shown in Orkney.
