Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre are steeped in history with one of the richest concentrations of archaeological remains in northern Europe’s and are often mentioned in the ‘Orkneyinga Saga’.
Today’s islanders enjoy dramatic coastal scenery with views towards both the outer North Isles and the Orkney mainland. All three islands benefit from regular ro-ro ferry links to Orkney mainland and Rousay, as the largest island, has a primary school, health practice and island shop.
