Crockness

Scotland

Crockness occupies a windswept corner of Hoy in Orkney's southern islands. Reaching it involves ferries from John o' Groats and the A961 causeway system linking the archipelago. The settlement sits near several neighbouring communities including Rinnigill and Lyness, connected by Hoy's coastal roads. It serves as a departure point for the nearby Flotta Isle Airstrip, which handles North Sea oil industry flights.
