Orkney

After more fun months back in Edinburgh the wild need to explore bit again, and this time to go further.

As told by the locals, the first group of islands at the north east tip of Scotland are called 'Orkney', which in local tounge means the islands of Orkney (http://www.orkneyjar.com/orkney/faq.htm)
