About Gorseness

Gorseness occupies central Mainland Orkney, where ancient farmland stretches between dramatic coastlines. The A965 connects it to Kirkwall Airport (15km) and ferry terminals, whilst local roads serve nearby settlements like Crookness and Rendall. With roughly 25 public fast chargers across the island, it's surprisingly EV-accessible for such a remote spot. The village lies near the Ring of Brodgar, a 5,000-year-old stone circle with 27 surviving monoliths.
