About Aikers

Aikers is a small village on South Ronaldsay in Orkney, reached via the famous Churchill Barriers causeway system from the mainland. The A961 provides the main route, with St Margaret's Hope ferry terminal just 4km away offering an alternative arrival point. The village sits amongst typical Orcadian farmland with views across to Caithness, and has approximately 3 EV charging points nearby. The Churchill Barriers themselves were built by Italian POWs during WWII, permanently linking these once-separate islands.
