Just to add to the thread. I am planning to go to the Orkneys in early July this year. We are driving up the west coast of Scotland (via overnight stops at Helensburgh / Invergary / Ullapool and Thurso. Then 7 nights in Stromness before returning to South Wales down the east coast of Scotland (stopping off at Helmsdale / Inverness and again at Helensburgh). Needless to say my itinery is chock-a-block with a full 16 days of 'old stones ' and 'old castles' planned. I plan to have 1 day on Rousay and 1 day on Hoy - 5 days on Mainland Orkney. This is my 'once in a lifetime' holiday so I am enjoing reading all your experiences of previous visits to the Orkneys. I plan to give an updat on my return. It may take some time to write!! Best wishes to all who read this.
