Imagine, gentle reader...

That this is the view from your garden. This was our view last week.

Wow. That's stunning, and reminds me of some of the places my family had in Scotland when I was young. Where did you go, and how did you book it?

We stayed at Shady Neuk (see http://www.orkney.com/shadyneuk/Homepage). Just outside Dounby. Booked direct with Melvin from ad in Visit Orkney brochure (http://www.visitorkney.com - you can see the accomodation online in pdf format there).

Orkney feels far more remote than Scotland - in fact spending a coupole of days in the highlands coming back home was spoilt by not being Orkney.
