Ah, Orkney. Not bloody Orkney, as the WWII poem describes it, but beautiful, breathtaking Orkney. I visited Scotland a few years ago, with a day ferry trip to Orkney Island from Thurso. I still tell my grandchildren about Skara Brae, and the Italian Chapel, and Glen Coe. I will go back someday to Orkney, and also the rest of Scotland. I left a piece of my heart there.

Thank you for filming this. We did this very trip with Rabbies in 2016, and absolutely loved it....would love to go back.Congratulations to Rabbies on the new trips you have added to your Itinerary.We thought Rabbies was the best! Smaller buses, and wonderful guides, who had such great knowledge of the history of sites visited on the tours. Can't wait to go back.

Thanks for this video. My grandfather was born in Kirkwall, the building still stands. We were in Thurso and Wick on a drive around Scotland last Sept. I cheered every time we saw a Rabbles bus.

Hi Cat, that's amazing it still stands! Give our mini-coach a wave next time and our driver-guide will wave back. 😉

We took the Rabbie's Orkney tour 2 summers ago. It was amazing. Skara Brae and Maeshowe (probably in the next video) were breath-taking when you look at them, realizing that these were real houses where real people lived 5,000 years ago (Skara Brae) and that actually Vikings carved graffiti on the walls (Maeshowe). The Rabbie's tour and guides were top notch. I highly recommend them.

Alexander MacDonald's nickname is Fear thollaidh nan tighean ("The destroyer of houses")..He and others were jealous of the most successful and most powerful Clan Campbell that they killed over 1,200 innocent Campbells in 1645 way before the massacre of immoral macdonalds...Real Campbells would not apologize for massacre of macdonalds when it was the king's order to kill immoral macdonalds. King ordered the troops to kill them and one of the troops just happened to have the last name Campbell which has nothing to do with killing immoral macdonalds... We the Campbells run Scotland and we are number one over there...even the military is wearing our Black Watch tartan... Ne Obliviscaris!
