| | Orkney in Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | Orkney history is a hands-on experience: the Ring of Brodgar, Knap of Howar, Skara Brae, Maeshowe, the Tomb of the Eagles, the Brochs of Gurness and Midhowe, Cubbie Roo's Castle, St Magnus' Church and Cathedral, Tankerness House, the sunken remains of the Grand Fleet, the Italian Chapel and Churchill Barriers. |
 | | The majority of people live on Orkney's largest island, the land mass known as "the Mainland", with the greatest population concentrations being around the Mainland towns of Kirkwall and Stromness. |
 | | The Gulf Stream passes close to the seas surrounding the islands, giving Orkney a reasonably temperate climate in which frost and snow are rare. |
