How many days do you need on Orkney?
To do Orkney any kind of justice I would suggest at least three days. I like the Pentland crossing and catching to 0930 ferry over and the last ferry back.Is Orkney always windy?

Although we see little snow, an Orkney winter is generally very wet - a combination of the low level of the land and the warming effect of the surrounding sea. Fog and sea-haar are perhaps the most frustrating aspect of Orkney's weather.How many days do you need in Orkney Islands?

Orkney tends to see midges in the countryside and not in the towns. We also had a problem with midges last year on Hoy and Rousay too. They are all Islands though. I have never been bothered with them in Kirkwall or Stromness.Leggi anche
