The Orkney Islands...

...are an island group of the northeast coast of the Scottish mainland.  There are some 70 islands, of which the largest - quite confusingly - is called Mainland!  There are another 19 inhabited islands in the group.  The administrative centre of the Orkneys is Kirkwall, which has a population of approximately 3,300.
