Archaeology across the Firth!

The Dunnet Head Educational Trust has teamed up with the ferry companies and the Scapa Flow Visitor centre to bring you archaeology across the Firth!  The plans of the military sites at Dunnet Head and Burifa Hill and the collection of materials has been donated to the centre where it can be more publicly available, and is the first real Hands Across the Firth project.

You can see more about Caithness archaeology at the Wick archive and about Orkney archaeology on their web site.  The Orkney Defence Interest Group also has a very interesting web site.

The Dunnet Head Educational Trust continues to collect information about Burifa Hill and the Head at their centre at Brough which is open by appointment only.

Cycling across the Firth!

We have teamed up with a cycle shop in Orkney to provide cross Firth packages for people who want to go to Orkney on a day trip, do some cycling, and return the same day.  If you are staying on Orkney, we can help with information about public transport getting to Dunnet Head and hiring a bicycle to do some local touring. Contact us for a quotation.

Packages to Scapa Flow Visitor Centre

The Scapa Flow Visitor Centre at Lyness, Hoy, is a source of fascination and their collection has been added to by the donation of the plans of Dunnet Head and Burifa Hill.  If you would like a day out or want to spend a few days on Hoy, or just go for the day, it is perfectly possible.

The B&B starts at £27.00 per person per night and the additional cost of a return to Hoy is about £65 per person.  However, if you are already going to Orkney, we can also provide information on how to get to the centre.  There will be a small admin charge for this which is payable by Paypal. 

If you are staying with us, then there is no charge for this service.
