    Hi guys, great vlog, absolutely loved the look of Orkney and Hoy. That memorial was beautiful and the old man of Hoy was incredible. Such gorgeous scenery and what an awesome park up on Hoy, all that and a rainbow at the end!! Fantastic 😍 thanks for sharing lots of love Julia and Gary ❤️

      Oh we totally loved it. There's so much history and so much sadness too. We loved Hoy the walk to the Old Man Of Hoy was amazing! We will definitely return.

    Hi Anna, Steve and Isla
    No idea how we missed this one
    Another fabulous video
    St Magnus Cathedral absolutely stunning
    We went in the Orkney Brewery and got some beers to take back for my dad (Morgs is coeliac so is gluten free and can only drink gluten free beer)
    We never made it to the memorial for The Royal Oak wish we had it looks very moving.
    Hoy looks very impressive we need to visit there.
    Hope you've had a fabulous weekend ❤

    Nice tour of this area despite the initial weather. Good info on booking the ferry too - we had to do the same recently in Alaska. How long was that ride ? love the areas you guys explore, one day we hope to go too. travel safe!

      @bobanddangsjourney thank you. The weather didn't spoil it, really we try not to let it.
      Ferry to Hoy was half an hour, then 45 minutes to get to the park up was so worth it.
      We have so much more to explore up there, too. Hope you make it one day
