Wrap up warm and experience Orkney during the winter months.
Winter at 59 degrees north can be wild and wonderful. Stormy weather is often mixed with cool, calm days of beautiful bright light across the islands. You'll also be guaranteed peace and quiet at our ancient sites and out on our rugged coastline, where you can experience the Orcadian elements at their best.
There's always a warm welcome inside too, with museums, galleries and visitor centres full of fascinating exhibits and artefacts for you to explore. And you'll never be short of an Orkney food and drink option either.
