At every season there are marvellous views in Orkney. The weather and light are very changeable - it is said that all four seasons can occur in a day. If you do not like the weather right now just wait a while! Early morning and late evening may be the most enchanting times in summer, but sunrise and sunset can also be dramatic in winter.

During and after storms the coast can be dramatic, but it can be equally fine on a calm evening or summer's day. When in Orkney you will feel close to nature and feel the power of the elements and yet the place has a softness and gentleness about that is very relaxing and restful.
