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.

Brilliant experience from start to Finish. Great van. Great hand over and reception. Van was very well maintained and in brilliant condition. Very good value for money and Mieke was so very helpful.

Very new campervan stocked with everything you need and plenty extras that other places charge for such as outdoor table and chairs and awnings. Choose to hire from here because the pick up and drop off times were much better than anyone else anywhere near Aberdeen. Website has video guides on how to work everything in the van which is a great touch. It is run by a lovely couple who seem to genuinely care you have a good holiday.

We had an absolutely amazing trip around the NC500 in the Mount Keen. The van was immaculate, fully kitted out, fantastic to drive, and very comfortable. With 2 adults, a 14 year old and a labrador. .I would definitely recommend Grampian Campervan Hire!
