On the road early as needed to get to Gills Bay to catch the ferry to Orkney d made good time so were able to visit Dunnet Head which is the true northern most point of mainland UK as well as John O Groats and were able to see Orkney quite clearly once the very heavy squalls passed. Once on the ferry the GPS in the car just continued as if it was still on land. SYHA hostel here is a very old ex Army barracks but comfortable and showers have hot water. Ususal interesting assortment of people. Kirkwall is another interesting older town, rather grey looking as all the houses are built of the same materials, with cobbled streets and quite a big port area.
