Walkhighlands expands to include Orkney

Walkhighlands has today launched coverage of Orkney with the publication of 40 walking routes on the islands. Ranging from the classic walk from Rackwick to view the Old Man of Hoy, to rambles to bird spotting hides and days out on many of the smaller islands, the coverage also includes a recently established walk along the east coast of South Ronaldsay, as well as archaeological gems such as Quoyness Cairn on Sanday and Mid Howe Broch on Rousay.

Walkhighlands plans to feature more walks on the islands, not covered so far, in addition to a couple of longer routes on Mainland Orkney, but if you are planning a trip there this summer, the 40 routes provide plenty of walking opportunities and all the routes come complete with detailed descriptions, OS mapping and GPS waypoints. Check out the walks here.
