ORKNEY, SHETLAND & FAROE ISLANDS
July 2018 – Details will be available soon Discover three unique archipelagos that lie off the coast of Scotland in the North Atlantic. Britain’s Orkney Islands are special – as far as the eye can see. With history spanning over 5000 years, the Neolithic monuments, stone circles and tombs on the largest island – Mainland - have earned recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Prepare to be amazed during a visit of Skara Brae, said to be the best-preserved stone age village in Europe! The subarctic archipelago of Shetland Islands also belongs to the United Kingdom, forming part of Scotland. Inhabited since the Mesolithic period – over 7000 years ago – the islands were influenced by primarily Norway until the 15th century when they became part of Scotland. You’ll see how the Scandinavian background is still very much blended into the culture today. Further north and closer to the arctic, you will see that the Faroe Islands are covered with arctic-alpine plants, wildflowers, and grasses, and the native fauna is primarily sea birds. The Danish self-governing archipelago is comprised of 18 rocky, volcanic islands located in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Norway. They are connected to each other by road tunnels, ferries, causeways and bridges. The combination of Orkney, Shetland and Faroe Islands will make an unforgettable trip for those who want to step off the beaten path, and those nature lovers and birdwatchers who have a keen interest in prehistoric sites.
