Hi David
Lived in Orkney for three years, setting up and running prepress for the new local paper and now back home in Inverness.
I know a lot of standing stone sites, Brochs, Pictish forts etc on the way from Glasgow to Orkney and over the North of Scotland as well as the orkney ones!
I know the main local photographer very well as he worked for the paper as well, he has lots of local knowledge, very nice guy.
This is a very good site about Orkney by one of Orkneys leading historians.

Big skies in Orkney.

PS take a brolly!
Cheers.
