After that we take our campervan to the island of Sanday, explore Quoyness Chambered Cairn and wildlife on Sanday Island. And finally, we search for wildlife such as Orcas and Dolphins off the shore of Orkney

Lovely video, thanks. Spectacular views of Orkney coast.
Sooo beautiful! Would really recommend a trip to Orkney!
An enjoyable video!👍👍
Thank you!
Awesome guys! Drone shots were on point 👌
Thanks dudes! ♥️
Only recently found your channel, and have to say, love your coverage. Very informative and interesting.👍 keep up the excellent work👍
Hoy here, Haughey, Hoey, Ulster Kings, Red Branch Knights, and Norse Haey, my homeland, history and culture, very much enjoyed, looking forward to visiting myself, all the very best, CHEERS.
Awesome! Enjoy!
Stunning scenery thanks for sharing your adventures
Thanks Kevin!
Just. Stunning. Absolutely gorgeous to watch, and to get to see both new and familiar places. Orkney's one of those places that gets under your skin. Looking forward to the next episode!
Ps, love Frank bolting along the beach, then just toppling over! 😂 he's such a hoot! 🎉
We loved it there, the amount of neolithic ruins are just ridiculous! And that's Frank's favourite trick on the beach 😂, rolls around and scratches his back in the sand. Bloody nightmare to get off him!
Wow!! So wild and beautiful. Definitely on the bucket list. Lovely to hear a cuckoo too. Haven’t heard one in years. Thanks for the vlog, safe travels ❤.
So nice to hear Cuckoos! There were a few instances up on Orkney, but also one Skye where we heard their calls in the morning and night. Super peaceful!
Thanks for a great video guys. Can't wait to get there!
It's a great place! 🙌
Love your video❤
Thank you!
Loved Hoy and especially Rackwick Bay. The coach parties that we seem to meet on the mainland don't seem to go there. The Scarpa Flow museum on Hoy is amazing.
Agreed Hoy/Rackwick was our favourite part! We didn't manage to get to the museum (Rackwick was too distracting!), but we heard it's really good!
Another great video guys,,👍👍
Thank you! 🤙
Happy Belated Birthday 🎉 thanks so much for sharing. Absolutely beautiful ❤ I'm from Virginia, 🇺🇸 so thankful for social media and what you two are doing. Stay safe
Thanks for watching! And thank you for the birthday wishes! Hope Virginia is treating you well, we're currently in a rainy but beautiful part of England!
Have fun! I can't wait to see what you bring us next.
Me and my girlfriend are looking to move here and these videos are making me so excited. Thank you for your video - some great ideas of places to visit here!
Wow! Moving to Orkney will be incredible, so much to do and see. We plan to go back again the near future, a few more islands we didn't see, and we'd love to see an Orca! Hope you enjoy it up there!
Just found you & having a fab Sunday binge watch of all your trips - loving your vids & vibe!
Thanks so much for watching - and that's such a kind comment!
Excellent video - very inspiring! Just curious as to the season/climate - when were you there? thanks
Thanks for watching! We were in Orkney in early-mid June. Bit of sunshine, bit of cloud, no rain. That's good conditions in Scotland 😂
great vid guys ,i watched ya vid for info on our planned trip next week to scotland , cant decide if to go to harris or orkney after looking at the weather ,how did you go on in your great looking van as it looks like 3m high in all the wind n weather , i have a luton too and a bit concerned about wind as they aint very good in wind as you know , any pros n cons about doing it in a luton either harris or orkney ? tia
Good question! The van moooves in the wind, but we visited Shetland, Orkney and L&H in spring/summer, so the winds weren't bad, thankfully. When it did get windy, we'd head a bit further inland for cover, or just suck up a bad night's sleep!
We'd be reluctant to go in the winter due to this reason, we were just on mainland Scotland and when it got super windy and stormy we had to drive further inland to find shelter/cover. The islands don't have much cover from the coast unfortunately
Exceptional, stunning road trip, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! ☺️
