this year the Girlfriend and i would love to get up to Orkney to see the sights and stones, but planning it so far we have hit a wall. as it just seems so expensive.

so if anyone has done this trip before some hints and pointers would be helpfull. id like to drive, and we are in Birmingham. driving is no problem for me but im guessing its going to mean a stop over near the top of Scotland.

the ultimate would be to go to Orkney and the surounding islands and Lewis. but i assume this is to hard to do? would we need 2 weeks to do that?


If you don't mind the trip from Brum to Thurso etc then the drive round the top and down to Ullapool is nothing plus it's great scenery . if you were booked it might be possible to leave Orkney and arrive on lewis in a day or vice versa .Must say though I would stay at one or the other .
