Scotland

Upper Sanday lies on eastern Mainland Orkney, reached via ferry to Kirkwall then the A964 and local roads. This small community sits amongst Orkney's characteristic rolling farmland, with Kirkwall Airport nearby for visitors. Local routes serve neighbouring settlements like Deerness and Steinflett, whilst longer journeys head to Kirkwall for services. The area offers over 20 EV charging points for exploring the islands. The settlement provides views of the famous Churchill Barriers, wartime concrete causeways linking Orkney's southern isles.
