It's now on the list. I'd done route a Loop of Orkney, ( A bit like Dougies Loop, but of Orkney ) and would have gone right past it. Not know, will be stopping there, to have a butchers around. Don't know how I missed that one View attachment 125184

It's an interesting place mate. I visited it when we sailed there years ago. Well worth your time.

Maes Howe is worth a visit as is the Italian chapel built by Italian POWs you will cross the Churchill Barriers to get to it. Scapa Flow is interesting seeing the German war ships that were sunk, some are still visible above the water.

The Italian church is interesting, agreed. We sailed through Scapa Flow, bearing in mind what happened there...

This is where I am for 5 nights

I know about the Italian Chapel, my Dad always mentioned it, he was stationed at Wick in the war, and what's really annoying is that for the life of me I can't remember if he had a trip to Orkney or not. This is one of the reasons why I decided to go to Orkney, was because of the history up there. It fascinates me. I've bookmarked the following
Old Man of Hoy, Kitchener Memorial, Lyness Royal Naval Cemetery, Ness Battery, The Italian Chapel, Churchill Barriers,
Standing-stones-of-Stenness, Ring of Brodgar, Scapa Flow Museum was on the cards but I'm reliably informed that it's not open till 2022 . Mull head visitors centre, St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. I dare say my hosts will give me a few other suggestions, other than P**s off

I've seen the old man of hoy from the sea - impressive.. stromness is also very pretty.
