Or indeed the Faroes?

Its very central on the 'Mainland' and very, very peaceful. Comes highly recommended by the four of us who stayed there.

Have fun!

Yes! We stayed in 2 wonderful places - one overlooking the Ring O'Brogar and the Stones of Stenness (and Maes Howe & the Watchstone, etcetc...) and the other which overlooked Cuween Chambered Cairn (The Fairy Knowe) and the Bay of Firth... Fantastic...

I'll dig out the details...

If you mean remote as in remote within Orkney then the areas to try are Deerness and Birsay and Orphir and South Ronaldsay.
