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.

Incredible service! Mieke & Jan were extremely hospitable and helpful - they’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to! Including clever ways of packing all the essentials you’ll need for the trip within the van. The vans are very modern and well equipped, very well maintained and completely clean when we picked it up - looked like it had just been picked up from a showroom! Mieke and Jan also helped with pickups and lifts back to the station to make our journey much easier! Would fully recommend to anyone thinking of touring round Scotland!

The service was brilliant, friendly and informative. The campervan itself was very clean and well laid out - we had an awesome adventure in it - if you get a chance you should definitely try it - very good value for money as well.

My Wife and I could not reccomend Mieke and her services more. We rented Ben Vane for 14 days across the highlands and back and had such a fantastic experience. Mieke is such a lovely host- friendly, kind, and has truly mastered the art of hospitality. Her campsite is in excellent condition ( we stayed there the day of arrival and departure), her campervans are new and in excellent condition, and her support throughout our trip was incredible. Skip the big rental companies and go with Grampian instead. Cheers!
