The Orkneys

We all ways intended to stay a few days in the Orkneys to visit all the historic sights so we hired a car for 2 days to do a whistle stop tour.

Stroomness has a new marina run as a trust by the Orkney Council , it will take around 20 visiting boats but was only a third full all the time we were there. The Marina master is very helpful with visits at 10:00 and 18:00 so he can fit his golf in.
