Message from Meandering Wild

The Bay of Skaill in Orkney is a stunning spot with a wide sandy beach that stretches out below the ancient Neolithic village of Skara Brae. When the tide is low, it feels like you can walk for miles along the shore. Surrounded by sand dunes and facing the Atlantic Ocean, it's a great place to catch some fresh sea air, watch local surfers riding the waves, or simply take a leisurely stroll with your furry friend. Don't miss the Hole o'Rowe in the distance, a cool sea-worn hole in the cliffs that adds to the charm of this edge-of-the-world feeling beach.
