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.
