4. Orkney Islands
Another group of wild and beautiful islands? Sure, why not. Drifting just off the northern coast of Scotland, the Orkney Islands are a convenient and timesaving alternative to the more remote and aforementioned Shetlands. Ample wildlife sighting opportunities await visitors here; you’ll likely see dolphins, giant Arctic seabirds and seal and puffin colonies. As a matter of fact, it can be said that the miles of rocky coastline are teeming with wildlife. And to top it all off, you’ll also be privy to countless Neolithic tombs, stone circles and monuments.
