Guide for a ferry journey from Aberdeen to Orkney Islands

Orkney Islands: Arrival by ferry from Aberdeen and exploring the region

The first town you'll discover when you step off the ferry is Kirkwall, the capital of Orkney. It's a charming town, with cobbled streets and grey stone buildings. Be sure to visit St Magnus Cathedral, a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Take advantage of the local market to sample fresh local produce, such as the famous Scottish salmon and artisan cheese.

A few kilometres from Kirkwall is the neolithic site of Skara Brae, one of the oldest human settlements in Europe. It's hard not to be fascinated by these stone houses, over 5,000 years old. Take a stroll along the beach and imagine the daily life of our prehistoric ancestors.
