The 7 Best Nature & Wildlife Tours in Mainland, Scotland

October 23, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

The aptly named Mainland is the main island of Orkney, a collection of Scottish islands with serious Viking cred. On West Mainland you’ll find the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, prehistoric ruins that include a chambered tomb, stone ceremonial circles, and Skara Brae, a well-preserved Neolithic village. Cap off your visit with a hoppy glug from the Orkney Brewery. Over on the East side, marvel at a collapsed sea cave known as The Gloup, take a provincial stroll through St. Mary’s Village or just dip your toes in at Mill Sands or Dingieshowe Beach.

Wild Orkney Walks

My name is Megan and I am Wild Orkney Walks. I am passionate about Orkney's walks, wildlife and the great outdoors. Living in Orkney for over 10 years, I have gained valuable experience and knowledge through the tourism industry and as a volunteer with local conservation groups. One of my great passions is the story of the White Tailed Eagle's return to Hoy. I love being outdoors and sharing my enthusiasm and love of Orkney's wildlife with people.

Sea Kayak 59° North

My name is Kristian and I love nothing more than sharing my passion of the sea and my home with others. I was brought up in a cottage on the shores of Elwick Bay on the island of Shapinsay playing in or on the sea on all types of craft. being brought up in a family of sea faires certainly helped my passion and understanding of the local waters. I am currently a moderate water sea kayak coach and an advanced sea kayak leader. I love nothing more than sharing my passion with others
