About Burroughston

Burroughston sits on Orkney, reached by ferry to Kirkwall then a 20-minute drive west on single-track roads with passing places. Most journeys are short island hops, though visitors arrive via ferry from mainland Scotland or flights to Kirkwall Airport. Over 20 EV charging points serve the islands, where electric cars suit the short distances perfectly. The village overlooks Scapa Flow, the massive natural harbour that housed the Royal Navy's wartime fleet and still contains visible shipwrecks at low tide.
