Covid-19 has brought changes in Orkney, as everywhere.

landscape for all of us.
The Covid-19 Orkney travel information below will help you to manage your travel plans, both in getting to Orkney and getting around within the islands.
Some Orkney businesses and sites will be limited in capacity and opening hours. Some public toilets may not immediately reopen due to stringent cleaning requirements.
Please remember that a mask is required in shops, on public transport and in public indoor spaces.
We know you'll keep the safety and comfort of our island community the focus of everything you do.
Thank you.
