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.
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.

Don't take our word for it! Have a look at what our previous customers have to say about Grampian Campervan Hire.
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!

We had a fantastic experience with Grampian Campervan Hire from start to finish. We had a few logistical issues around insurance before the trip, and Mieke was incredibly helpful in guiding us through everything. She went out of her way to make sure we could still go ahead with the journey, which we really appreciated. The campsite is very easy to find on Google Maps and is just about 15 minutes away from Huntly. When we arrived, Mieke was already there waiting for us, so there was no delay at all. As first-time campers, we found her explanation of everything very clear and reassuring. She took the time to walk us through all the essentials and shared her number, encouraging us to call anytime if we needed help. The return process was just as smooth, quick, straightforward, and completely hassle-free. Overall, it was a 10 on 10 experience. A lovely couple to deal with, and a special thanks again to Mieke for being so supportive and accommodating. We will definitely be going back and recommending them to our friends.

When I arrived the first thing I noticed was how the vans were all gleaming and clean. Mieke explained all the functions and controls of the campervan so clearly. We will use Grampian Campervan Hire again but would highly recommend them.
