Orkney holiday cottages
The Orkneys are a group of some 70 islands and islets just off the northern coast of the Scottish mainland. A short break in Orkney could include a visit to Skara Brae, 6,000 years old and one of the oldest human settlements in the world. Visitors can see rare bird life from their holiday cottage and seals are ever-present. With frequent visits from porpoises, dolphins and even killer whales, the islands make and ideal base for family holidays where the kids will be fascinated by wildlife. From the most remote farmhouse to the island capital of Kirkwall, the Orkney Islands provide an ideal backdrop to a memorable holiday.
