Carriage Driving

The Orkney Carriage Driving Group is an active group promoting the gentle art of carriage driving. The owners of Gaira Driving Ponies are very active within the group, and are members of the Orkney Tourism Group. The secretary of the tourism associationNorth of Scotland Hospitality which operates under the byeline LetsGoNorth is an enthusiast of driving, and she had an excellent day out with the Orkney group on Sunday 10th April. It was a glorious day, great company, great food, and most important, great horses! We were even joined by a dog in harness!

North of Scotland Hospitality (NOSH) and Orkney Tourism Group join forces!

In a major coup, the tourism associations, NOSH and OTG have joined forces to promote tourism in the far north of Scotland. This means that Caithness & Sutherland will benefit from Orkney's strong branding, putting us on the same stage for the first time! You can see more about NOSH at www.letsgonorth.com and about OTG at http://www.orkneytourism.com/
