World-Class Connectivity

Despite our remote location, Orkney is anything but isolated. Excellent transport links connect us to mainland Scotland and beyond, with daily flights to key Scottish cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, as well as regular ferry services to multiple ports. Our internal transport network makes getting around the islands seamless, whether for work or leisure.

Orkney is also at the forefront of digital connectivity. With extensive 4G coverage and high-speed broadband available across much of the archipelago, you’ll find it easy to stay connected with family, friends, and colleagues wherever they are in the world.

Embracing Nature and Heritage

Orkney is a haven for lovers of the outdoors and history enthusiasts alike. With over 70 islands, miles of stunning coastline, and diverse wildlife, the opportunities for exploration are endless. From spotting orcas and puffins to hiking along dramatic cliffs, Orkney’s natural environment is truly world-renowned.

Our heritage is equally remarkable. With Neolithic villages, Viking history, and wartime relics, Orkney’s story spans thousands of years. Yet, while we treasure our history, we’re not a place that stands still.

A Forward-Thinking Community

Orkney is known for its entrepreneurial spirit and innovative mindset. We are global leaders in renewable energy technologies, with pioneering developments in wind, wave, and tidal power. Our forward-thinking approach attracts talent and investment from across the world, creating exciting opportunities for those who live and work here.

Local businesses thrive here too, drawing inspiration from the islands’ unique landscape and resources. From award-winning food and drink producers to world-renowned designers and makers, Orkney is a hub of creativity and enterprise.

Quality of Life You Won’t Find Elsewhere
