SCOTLAND
Shetland and Orkney Islands
Scandinavia meets Scotland, with vividly coloured timber structures projecting angular shadows, Norse dominating
the local languages, and place names and whiskies named for Viking gods and warriors such as Thor, Loki, and Einar.
(There is even an adopted king penguin waving the Norwegian flag at Edinburgh Zoo.)

Experience this living legacy firsthand with a guided tour of Orkney. Skaill House is well-known for its contribution to
Orkney's diverse and exciting past, particularly as the home of William Graham Watt, who discovered one of Europe's
most remarkable prehistoric monuments, the neolithic village of Skara Brae, which was revealed by a massive storm
in 1850.
Single room supplement (ltd) £Nil
Take a guided tour of Shetland, Scotland's most isolated location, and marvel at the plentiful wildlife and stunning,
unmatched vistas where the skyline crashes into jagged coasts dotted with enticing coves and towering cliffs. This
tidal island, annexed from the Danes in 1472, still shows tangible traces of Norse habitation, with over sixty
archaeological sites strewn throughout the surface.
