We have been to the Orkney’s several times, but never with a DSLR and some camera instruction on board.
The sights of Orkney are in abundance. They say there are more archeological sites per square kilometer than anywhere else in the world. The light in December, while in short supply, is amazing. We had several days of amazing light and so I will break the Orkney portion of our trip into sections of the island.
A trio of the main archeological sites to visit are all very close to each other. These being the Ring of Brodgar, The Barn House Village, and The Standing Stones of Stenness. These sites are located just of the main Stromness to Kirkwall road in the West Mainland. Stromness one of the main ferry points into Orkney from Scotland. Kirkwall is main town and the capital of Orkney. The airport is located just east of Kirkwall.
