The Orkney Islands are located far in the northeast corner of Scotland. Dennis and I were able to see important "ancient" sites there that we would not have been able to see anywhere else in Scotland. Even though it was a long day, (7:15 AM to 9:00 PM) we did enjoy the tour and visit to the Islands. Here are two websites about Orkney that might be of interest: Orkney Islands tourist website The Heritage of the Orkney Islands
