About Hourston

Hourston lies in central Mainland Orkney, surrounded by working farms and stone-walled fields typical of the islands. You'll reach it via local roads branching off the A965 or A986, with most journeys connecting nearby settlements like Dounby and Harray. The area has about 16 EV charging points across Mainland, and sits on some of Orkney's finest agricultural land where barley destined for Highland Park whisky is still grown today.
