Time for what has now become our regular April trip to one of the Scottish Islands. Last year it was the Outer Hebrides and this time we are returning to the Orkney Isles. We were last there around this time in 2012 and enjoyed it so much that we vowed to return. Getting there is easy: fly from Exeter to Edinburgh and then from Edinburgh to Kirkwall. The reverse is a little more convoluted as we hop from Kirkwall to Aberdeen to Manchester to Exeter.
Our base for our sojourn again will be the excellent B & B run by Audrey Poke out in the countryside to the west of Kirkwall. Comfortable, clean and good food. What else would we want? Tomorrow we head off to one of the other islands, possibly Rousay.
