Spring is lovely in the far north of Scotland......the sunshine, daffodils, and gorse provide huge blasts of yellow everywhere 💛

Pentland Ferries 'the Pentalina' sailing into Gills Bay from Orkney yesterday morning.

With Gills Bay just at the end of our lane Burnside Cottage + The Pig Shed is the ideal place to stay......and as the crossing is just an hour, it's easy enough to go just for the day! 😊
