Inter-isles Destinations: What to see

Eday

Eday is home to the Red House Croft Restoration Project, where you can see an intact dwelling and a mill, all run by a waterwheel built in the 19th century.

How do I start collecting Clan Points?

It is home to the Old Beacon, which was built in the 1780s to warn ships of the infamous rocks of Reef Dyke.
Home to a flock of sheep who live on the beach and live off seaweed. They are confined to the beach by a stone wall.

Papa Westray

Papa Westray is home to St Boniface Kirk, a 12th-century recently restored church with a Viking hogback grave in the kirkyard.
Home to the Knap of Howar, a structure dating back to 3,500 BC, is the oldest preserved stone house in northern Europe.

Sanday

Home to Start Point Lighthouse – the first Scottish lighthouse to have a revolving light.
Sanday is home to the devil's claw marks; it has been said that the devil tried to enter the church once but was shut out. Therefore, he clawed at the stonework to try and get in.

Westray

Home to The Castle O’ Burrian Sea Stack, once used as a hermitage and now home to a colony of Puffins between April and late July.
Noltland Castle is an incomplete fortress built in the 16th century by Gilbert Balfour, Mary Queen of Scots’ Sheriff of Orkney.

Stronsay

See one of Orkney’s finest natural sea arches at the Vat of Kirbister, a dramatic ‘gloup’ created by the collapse of a sea cave roof.
Look out for the rare Pelican Foot shell and Spoots, or razor fish, on the beachcomber’s paradise of St Catherine’s Bay.
