Travelling the Orkney Islands for 7 days. Lying off the north coast of Scotland, Orkney is an archipelago of around 70 islands. A place where humans have lived for more than 8500 years and history is never far from where you look.
I start my journey in Scrabster on Scotland’s northern coast and catch the ferry to Orkney with my campervan. I always enjoy exploring lesser-visited places and during my time on the Orkney Isles, I visit other smaller islands in addition to the Orkney mainland. I managed to travel to Westray Island, The Isle of Hoy and the Isle of Rousay.
The more I explored Orkney, the more I became fascinated with its history. I delved into its Neolithic past, including a visit to Skara Brae, The Stones of Stenness and The Ring of Brodgar. I also visited the Old Man of Hoy, a natural wonder, and learned about Orkney's role in World War I and II at Scapa Flow. I explored the charming towns of Stromness and Kirkwall and paid a visit to the unique Italian Chapel, a testament to human creativity on these islands.
Whether you're planning your own Orkney adventure, looking for a NC500 detour or simply curious about these Scottish islands, I hope my Orkney travel guide video will help provide insights into the beauty and history of these incredible islands.

11:00 There's something incredibly surreal (and emotional to me for some reason) about the contrast between the ancient moss covered tombs and the pristinely smooth modern protective cement "caul" that encases it. The sunlight streaming in through the open skylights seems to really enhance the feeling.

Hello Ruth ❤, in Vietnam, when a loved one passes away, after 49 days there is a small ceremony and gathering to remember this person. The same way after 100 days. And every year, on the anniversary day of the passing (on the lunar calendar), there is a big ceremony and gathering to remember this person.

Thank you for showing us the beauty of Scotland's nature. In the opening and other parts of this video, we can see striped rock layers on the coastal cliffs. It is believed that long ago, more than 8,500 years ago, the seabed was uplifted due to tectonic changes, became land, and was further eroded, eventually becoming part of the coastline. The grandeur of this natural process is truly awe-inspiring, isn't it?

Hi Ruth. Many of the female RU-vidrs talk about the merits of the countries where they were born and raised. This time, the ancient ruins were talked about very vividly, and I think that there are many similarities between the round tombs and megalithic civilizations in Japan, and although this has not been proven, there was once a connection between them. I want to imagine that.

@ruthaisling 11 месяцев назад

That is so interesting, next time I am in Japan I will try and visit some of those places. Although it's a different time period, I did think the dinosaur museum in Fukui Prefecture was excellent. Probably the best museum I have visited in Japan.

It is so good to see so many high quality productions about my home nowadays, Orkney. I was born here and have lived here all my life and you could not pay me to leave, it is a very special place. Just so you know for the ferry animations it would be better to use a picture of the "Earl Sigurd" for the Inter Island ferries and the "Hamnavoe" for the Northlink ferry as the pictures you used were of the Shetland inter island ferry "Linga" and the Aberdeen ferry "Hrossey." 😃

Well that bought back some nice memories of my visit to Orkney many years ago.

Quite a different experience to super touristy places like Skara Brae.

We purchased Ring of Brodgar rings in Kirkwall, and the Jeweller made a wee Orkney Axe to wear on my Argyle jacket as well, it was a scaled down Kiltie pin, very unique!! The Neolithics are amazing. Highland Park is great Whisky, we couldn’t do the tour as our ferry left St Margaret’s Hope for Gills Bay before the tour started. We stayed in the Kirkwall Camp Site and motored around to as many sites as we could cram in. You did better than us on the small ferries to the remote islands. I could go on and on, we loved Orkney.

I'm a retired art history teacher. I've always been interested in Skar-a-brea. Used to teach it to my kids! The corbelled architecture is fascinating.😄
