Orkney and Shetland

Lying off Scotland's far north coast, the archipelagos of Orkney and Shetland both offer a unique experience of Scottish geography, history, culture and traditions.

Go North

Located to the far north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland may lie beside each other, but their individual offerings are distinctly unique.

Orkney's allure is shrouded in the mystery of times past, from remains of early villages, to howes and stone circles, which are still being uncovered today. With deliciously tempting authentic food and drink, and the shimmering waters of Scapa Flow, Orkney's appeal is undeniable.

Just a little further north lies Shetland, an ideal spot for seeking out the northern lights in winter months, followed by the wonderous fire-lit skies of January's Up Helly Aa celebrations. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning, and the appeal of never reaching darkness in mid-summer leaves more time to explore the unreached and unseen.

Exceptional experience We were a group of 5 friends renting two vans (Ben Rinnes and Ben Lui) for a NC500 trip and had a phenomenal rental experience with Grampian Campervans. I could not recommend more. First, the vans are in perfect condition. It is clear how committed Mieke and Jan are to accommodating all types of trips and they have a range of options that they are regularly updating in response to demand. Second, Mieke offers a top class customer experience from start to finish and responded to every one of our queries within the hour. This makes the difference vs other rental companies where you may get a tolerable product but with no access to advice/ help when it’s really needed. Thank you so much for an incredible time!
