Customer Reviews

Good information on Orkney sites

While you'll still need to use the Internet to look up things that change frequently like current rates for hotels or bed & breakfasts, and admission rates to the sights, this book provides good information about things to see and do in Orkney. I bought it to bring on a recent trip to Orkney as a backup in case I couldn't find a place to get on the Internet once I got there, and was glad that I did.

Travel guide

The information seems to be quite complete and is well presented. The book also has its lighter side. Good value for the visitor lucky enough to get to this part of Scotland.
