Properties for sale in Orkney Islands, sell your home privately in Orkney IslandsThe Orkney Islands are a collection of small land masses situated to the north east of Scotland. They comprise over seventy small islands of which about twenty are inhabited. They are linked to mainland Scotland by a ferry service and an air service operated with light aircraft. These historic islands don't have any cities, and the largest town, Kirkwall, is the administrative centre of the islands. The land here is very rural and mainly flat. There are few roads, but those which do exist are in good condition. The islands are located in the Gulf Stream which lends itself to an excellent climate without dramatic changes. Homes are popular here with people looking to make a change from everyday mainland living and are looking for the remote appeal of these islands without the feeling of being isolated. Most properties are detached country cottages, although there are townhouses and semi detached homes in the towns. Outdoor pursuits are a favourite past time here, and the islands are a haven for wild animals such as seals and otters.
