Accommodation
West Mainland is the largest part of the largest island in Orkney and offers the visitor an unrivalled richness and diverse variety of attractions. The parish of Rendall lies on the north east side of West Mainland and at Tingwall, the harbour hosts a number of Orkney fishing boats as well as the ro-ro ferry to the islands of Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre. Mainland offers delightful villages dotted through farmland with spectacular cliff scenery along the Atlantic coastline, sheltered sandy bays and unrivalled hill and moorland vistas. Visitors will enjoy discovering the fascinating history - from the famous prehistoric village at Skara Brae through to the period of Norse and Viking rule, the Renaissance architecture of the early 17th century and right up to date. Orkney does not just offer historic interest however - the islanders lead a rich, full life and many recreational activities can be enjoyed including cycling, deep sea diving, golf, pony trekking, loch and sea fishing (excellent brown trout fishing lochs), sailing and boat hire. There are art, flower, drama and music Festivals held throughout the summer months and visitors are made very welcome. The islands are also abundant in wildlife, with many rare seabirds to be seen and wonderful wild flowers. No trip to Orkney is complete without exploring the smaller islands - each one has its own unique charm and character.
