Shetland, Orkney and the Outer Hebrides

Lying at the very edge of Europe, the islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides share a rugged natural beauty, with unspoilt beaches, plentiful wildlife and a unique culture and traditions.

The northern archipelagos of Orkney and Shetland share many of these qualities and supplement them with some of the most fascinating and, at times, awesome archaeological sites in Europe, found in the burial mounds, stones circles and settlements of the earliest peoples.

The islands' Norse heritage is also evident everywhere althought today's invasions tend to be from the thousands of birds and other wildlife that make their home in these magical isles.
