Kirkwall

I was recently camping at John O’Groats so I got a local ferry across to Orkney. While in Kirkwall I got a bus out to the airport to ask about flying in by light aircraft. The person I spoke to at the information desk in the terminal was really welcoming. He thought it was great and was very keen on the idea; he was prepared to pass on contact numbers for the local club using the airport and talked about people flying in not just from the UK but all around northern Europe. Apparently, until recently Kirkwall offered a cheap landing card for light aircraft on a weekend visit. Looked to me like a handy place to be based if exploring the area.
