I parked my van up for the night at Skaill Bay first night on Orkney and woke up looking out across this bay, thought I must be in heaven. This must have been taken from Skara Brae itself, I was a few hundred yds to the left in a small car park off the road overlooking the sea. Walked down the beach to Skara Brae in the morning and evening, wonderful (obviously popped in later to pay my dues). Posted by costaexpress

I was a tad disappointed that access from Skara Brae to the Bay was chained off but no matter really, there's always a way. Also I think we need to start thinking about sleeping over in a van:) Posted by carol27
