Orkney, an archipelago off the northeastern coast of Scotland, consists of around 70 islands, of which about 20 are inhabited. The islands have a rich history spanning over 8,500 years, with some of the best-preserved Neolithic sites in Europe. The main island, known as Mainland, hosts the largest towns of Kirkwall and Stromness.
Orkney's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its Norse and Celtic influences, visible in its archaeological sites, traditional music, and crafts. The islands are home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the prehistoric settlement of Skara Brae and the Ring of Brodgar stone circle. The local community maintains strong cultural traditions while embracing contemporary arts and crafts. The islands' museums and heritage centers play a crucial role in preserving and presenting Orkney's unique history and culture to visitors.
