๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ This is my favourite kind of museum. Small, but packed full with information and exhibits focusing on specifically local history. There is an entrance fee of ยฃ5, but it is well worth it as you can return to the museum using the same ticket and there is so much to take in. Downstairs covers the Sca...

Beneth'Ill Cafe
Cafe
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Busy cafe in the north of the island with children's playground in the garden. Staff didn't lead us to our table but did get a bit of craic with them. Quality food, good WiFi, and a place to dry off for those dampened by the weather.

๐Ÿ‘ A really friendly welcome from the site warden. It was a busy week, but we still had a decent amount of space. It's a breezy place for a tent but level ground. Lovely new showers and a little lounge.

Dwarfie Stane
Historical landmark
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Worth visiting only if you're interested in neolithic life, archaeology, history or you just want a good walk. It took a little over an hour to walk from the Linksness foot ferry, the vast majority was on the road. From the car park the stone is clearly visible and the path is well maintained consi...

Adam's Place
Seafood restaurant
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Some of the best food we have had, hands down. We were delightfully surprised at the impeccable quality of each meal we had. The souffle and Cullen skink were to die for, and it kept getting better with the crab linguine and lamb shoulder. The quality didn't stop there. The desserts we had were beau...

Chinese takeaway
๐Ÿ˜  Expect to get the wrong order. Ordered over the phone, staff completely incompetent at taking an order. What we received wasn't even close to what was ordered. Other than the rice dishes and fish and chips, only one part of our order was correct. This is not the first time this has happened. Will no...
