  • After 3 days exploring one of Scotland's most Northern Isles, we can't help but wonder why more people aren't talking about ORKNEY more...It is a fascinating island filled with prehistoric sites, the friendliest people you will ever meet, great food, and incredible landscapes. We hope you fall in love with this magical place like we did and put it on your bucket list for MUST VISIT places in your lifetime.

    We honestly have NO IDEA why we have heard so much about the Shetland and Herbrides but not Orkney before we came here. This place is RICH in history, beauty, and we just love it here. What do you think? Would you visit Orkney?

      Visited in 2014. Was absolutely blown away with the amount of history to be seen. I still recommend it, to this day. Was definitely the highlight of our trip which covered the UK from top to bottom and into Wales.

    Loved Orkney when we visited last June. As you said it has a flavour of its own. The people are fabulous. The history is awesome. We are returning next year. ❤

    Great videos. It’s a been a breath of fresh air watching a couple who genuinely love the places they visit. Could see you moving to Scotland after watching your other videos. Keep the videos coming your showing me places that I would never have thought to go. Thanks

    Been following your videos for a little while and enjoying watching you both connect in such a deep way with Scotland and the Orkneys too. Your love and fascination with both the history, the culture and the people is very heart warming and your growing love and connection with all of the above is beautiful to see.

    You are an amazing film maker and story teller. I hope you get discovered, i know I’ve said this before but you guys so deserve to have your videos go viral. I followed you originally for vanlife but the way you present your travel adventures is so impressive. You should be so proud of your creativity. Love you guys 🇦🇺

    Regarding your wondering about the sheep: do they just graze here? I wonder if the situation in Newfoundland, Canada might be similar (they do share Gaelic roots). There's a path in Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland called Green Gardens and a local farmer brings his sheep by boat every spring over to the grazing land at the end of that hiking trail. They leave them for the season and pick them back up again in the fall. I guess they've been doing this for generations. Sounds similar to what you've seen in Orkney to me.

    I worked on an archaeological excavation, a few years back. It is an amazing place, and I want to come back and explore it more. Most Scots have Norse ancestry to some degree, so if you have Scottish ancestry, you'll have Norse ancestry.

    We (me and my wife) have been to Orkney and seen most of the places you have shown on this video plus a few other sites, and I'd say this is one of the BEST videos I have seen about Orkney. The Tourist Board should commission you!
    Wife has just suggested another visit there....
