World Heritage Interest Cruise
Ruled by the Scandinavian crown until 1468, when the archipelago was ceded to Scotland under a marriage settlement, Orkney remains Nordic in culture. In the comfort of Lord of the Highlands, experience its magical prehistoric sites, extraordinary birdlife and incredible seascapes on a stunning summer cruise around the beautiful Orkney Isles.
Steaming the Pentland Firth, we head for Stromness where Skara Brae awaits. Orkney’s finest Neolithic settlement gives a remarkable picture of life 5,000 years ago. Covering thousands of years of history, Skaill House is renowned for its contribution to Orkney’s diverse and exciting past.
Around 5,000 years ago, the prehistoric people of Orkney began building monuments out of stone and many still survive today. Explore the stone circles and chambered tombs at the Heart of Neolithic Orkney. The Scapa Flow Museum tells the story of Orkney’s military involvement during both world wars and houses a major collection of wartime artefacts.
Visit the Churchill Barriers, built by Italian prisoners of war, and their enduring memorial, the delightful Italian Chapel, constructed out of two Nissen huts. Britian’s most northerly cathedral, St Magnus in Kirkwall is known as the ‘Light in the North’, whilst the Bishop’s and Earl’s Palaces are regarded as two of the finest examples of architecture in Scotland.
Explore the hidden gem of Gordon Castle Estate, situated between the River Spey and the Moray Coast. Contrast the magnificent turreted Brodie Castle, ancestral home to the Brodie Clan for over 400 years, and the romantic Highland 14th century home of the Thanes of Cawdor. |
