Widewall

Scotland

Widewall sits on South Ronaldsay in Orkney, connected to the rest of the islands by the A961 and the wartime Churchill Barriers. Most visitors arrive via the Pentland Ferries crossing from Caithness, whilst local journeys link nearby settlements like St Margaret's Hope. The village overlooks the Pentland Firth, where Britain's strongest tidal currents create dramatic standing waves during spring tides.
