Back from Orkney
I’m just back from a business trip to Orkney, and what a fascinating and pretty place it is. The Kirkwall Hotel is beautiful, and the food there is utterly fabulous - truly the best hotel food I’ve ever tasted. Like, ever. And the people are friendly beyond compare (with a wicked sense of humour, too!).
I’m making a mental note (and a written one) to go back to Orkney in the future, but for pleasure rather than work. I need to make some free time to go exploring these islands properly. In a word, stunning. If you’re looking for somewhere different to go in Scotland, go there: I really can recommend it.
Please note: this is not a sponsored post. There are no sponsored posts at The Far Corner. If I like it, I tell you; I’ll do likewise if I don’t.

I hope to get back to Scotland in 2009; Orkney was on my list of possibilities and based on your positive review, I’ve just moved it up the list! How wonderful to go there on business!

You went to Dalkeith High School? (saw this on Facebook) No way. Tiny world we live in.
Sorry, unrelated to post…

hey thanks for visiting my blog int he past. Currently I am relocating and changing jobs and would like to hand my blog over to some one else. It is only about 3 months old and has gotten great reviews. Please contact me if you or anyone else is interested. There will be no cost attached except a small fee for my labors. Please post about it in your blog. Maybe you can start a discussion going abut whether someone can get rid of a blog by selling it and so on, be creative. Thanks…

You must have been in Orkney just after we were there. Spent a very enjoyable week there this summer and had lunch in the Kirkwall Hotel - best Fish and Chips I’ve had in ages.
