Ancumtoun

Scotland

Ancumtoun lies on Orkney's northern coast, accessible via ferry from the Scottish mainland to Stromness, then the A965 towards Kirkwall before branching onto local roads. The 59-kilometre drive from Kirkwall passes through typical Orcadian farmland on single-track roads with passing places. Nearby settlements include Linklet and Hollandstoun within a kilometre. The area features several ancient stone circles, some over 5,000 years old.
