Hannibal 226 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Does anyone on here living on the Orkney isles? I've recently bought a place with a bit of land and will be periodically be spending some time up there before making the final move in a few years. Be good to hear from anyone who is up there and maybe get out and have a mooch with the dogs Cheers 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got a few more years till I'm up there full time but got my place so more than happy. 3 bed stone cottage with 2 acres for the place of a garage in the south east. Needs a little work but nothing major 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 11,177 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Good luck with the move to the Orkneys is it the main island you are moving too or one of the other smaller islands my son inlaw owns some land on one of the smaller islands . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannibal 226 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yes it's the mainland I am on. I was looking at some of the outer islands but decided on the mainland for healthcare rrc I found it just right,nice and isolated but not a million miles away from civilization 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannibal 226 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yeah kirkwell is a lovely little place. It has everything there but without all the big chain stores. I'm about 15 miles from there. I have only been to the mainland and Hoy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenshank1 407 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 We went on holiday a few years ago, stunning , great Trout and sea trout fishing and wildfowlers paradise in the winter. Well Done , sounds like you have pulled off the great escape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
