The attractive island of Sanday is the largest of the North Isles of Orkney and as the name suggests its most outstanding features are the sweeping bays with their white sandy beaches.
Lying nearly 15 miles northeast of Kirkwall; access by air and sea is comfortable and speedy.
Sanday is a peaceful place which requires time to savour its gentle charm.
You can fish for trout free in the lochs or wander the beaches, visit archaeological sites or watch the basking seals.
Sanday offers unlimited opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts both professional and amateur.
You can watch fishing boats at Kettletoft, or farmers tending their fields in the long, light days of summer.
You may gather your own thoughts and impressions in our comfortable bar among the friendly and interesting local folk.
The island has a swimming pool and community centre adjoining the school as well as a nine-hole golf course.
