Orkneys & Scottish Highlands

One of the most interesting places on earth, the Orkney Islands offer a mix of outstandingly rugged coastal scenery teeming with bird and sea-life and the greatest single collection of pre-historic remains in the Worl. This is a land steeped in Viking history and contemporary sites dating from the two great World Wars. The tour departs from and returns to Inverness. We make the most of the sightseeing opportunities enroute to the island through Europe's last great wilderness region.

  I'm travelling from Australia to the Orkney Islands to see where my family was from .I am making my own way there - through days and days of research and so many bookings!!! Please keep this tour for others like me who wish to come in the future. It would have saved me so much time and effort. Great site!
