About Brims

Brims is a tiny settlement on Hoy, Orkney's second-largest island, reached via ferries from the Scottish mainland to Stromness then Houton to Lyness. Local roads connect nearby villages like Longhope across moorland dotted with wartime ruins. The dramatic location sits beneath towering western cliffs where the famous Old Man of Hoy sea stack rises 449 feet from the Atlantic.
