The Islands

The Orkney Isles are a beautiful collection of islands where you will find some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. We are located in Burray which can be found to the north of South Ronaldsay, the southern most of the Orkney islands, these two islands are connected by the forth Churchhill barrier.

Scapa Flow is one of the best diving sites in the world. Diving courses can be arranged for the first time diver. To finish off a hectic day of sightseeing, take a relaxing stroll along one of the many sandy beaches and admire the crystal clear blue seas.

You can now also play golf in stunning surroundings on the new golf course in the next village of St Margrets Hope.

The UKs most Northerly Crazy Golf Course has opened near to us in the new children's play park in Burray click here for more details.
