    Hiking

    Marwick Head RSPB Nature Reserve is home for up to 25,000 seabirds, making it the largest cliff nesting seabird colony on mainland Orkney.

    Fulmars, Razorbills, Kittiwakes, Guillemots, Puffins, potentially Arctic Skuas and Red-throated Divers to be spotted, with early summer giving you the best opportunity.
