Highland Park Distillery
You may remember that I blogged recently about a trip to Orkney (to see previous entries click here).
One of the highlights of the the trip was a tour of the Highland Park Distillery. The distillery was in its Silent Season which meant no production was taking place; however, we still managed to have an exciting guided tour with a couple of drams at the end.

Stone Building, Hoy, Orkney
The image above is another from my holiday in Orkney in the summer. This particular photograph was taken in Hoy. I liked the colours and textures of the stone building contrasting with the dramatic background.
The first image I posted in my Orkney collection can be viewed here.

Rackwick, Hoy, Orkney
We enjoyed a very enjoyable few days in Orkney this summer. It was my first time in Orkney and I will definitely be going back for another visit soon. I was quite surprised how different it is to Shetland.
One highlight of the trip was our trip to Hoy. The name Hoy derives from Norse Háey meaning high island. Hoy has a population of 272 with Lyness being the main settlement area where there is an excellent visitor centre.
The picture above was taken at Rackwick which, as you can see, is a simply stunning place with its spectacular cliffs.
More photos from Orkney to come.
