A short-eared owl, a common sight in Orkney, gracefully glides over a sun-drenched, grassy field near Kirkwall, the city in our archipelago of 70 islands. #Orkney

Nature’s own spotlight: sun halo over Orkney’s rugged shores. Proof the North has its own kind of enchantment. ❄️✨ #AtmosphericPhenomenon #sunhalo #orkney thanks to my client Joanne for the epic shot.

Finally @NLFerries have taken the initiative to remove the horns from the helmet of Magnus. #orkney #commonsenseprevails #orkneyuncovered

Visiting #Orkney next week to visit family, holiday (and look at farms of course). What should be on my ‘cannot miss’ list? @bbcorkney @OrkneyBoreray @OrkneyLibrary @OrkneyCouncil @VisitScotland

A miscelleny of pix here, including Old Man of Hoy on the way into Stromness and the Earl's Castle remains at Birsay. This island, like Skye, has the most amazing collection of crafts people. The landscape is like the Waikato, with gentle rolling green hills. #Orkney

An aerial view captures the dramatic coastal cliffs of the Brough of Birsay in Orkney, Scotland, with the distinct Brough of Birsay Lighthouse standing prominently on the grassy headland overlooking the deep blue sea. #orkney

It's a cool February morning in #Orkney and #BookyMcBookface is away on the ferry to the beautiful islands of Rousay and Egilsay. 📚 Rousay is known as the 'Egypt of the North' due to its density of archaeological sites including neolithic tombs, cairns and Viking remains.
