About Greeny

Greeny occupies a central spot on Mainland Orkney, surrounded by the island's characteristic mix of fertile farmland and dramatic coastline. The A986 connects to the main A965 ring road, providing straightforward access from Kirkwall or the Stromness ferry terminals, whilst local routes lead to Birsay's archaeological treasures and the western coastal attractions. With approximately 10 EV charging points nearby and Orkney's famously mild maritime climate, it's an ideal base for exploring the islands. The village lies just minutes from the Brough of Birsay, where you can walk across to a tidal island at low tide to explore Pictish and early Christian ruins.
