Orkney & Shetland

Have more time?

We can also put together private multi-day trips combining Orkney and Shetland.

The two island groups share a long Norse history and sit relatively close together, but they are very different places. Orkney has its great Neolithic monuments, fertile farmland and sheltered sounds; Shetland feels wilder and more northern, with dramatic cliffs, seabirds, archaeology and a strong culture of its own.

A longer trip gives us time to explore both properly, rather than simply ticking off the best-known sites.

Tell me how many days you have and what interests you, and we can start building a bespoke itinerary. We’re also happy to help with accommodation, ferries and flights, and can include things such as family-history research, wildlife, walking, archaeology, local food and drink or whatever else you have in mind.
