Geography

Six miles (10 km) north of the mainland of Scotland, beyond the Pentland Firth, lie the 70 islands of the Orkney archipelago. Twenty of these islands are inhabited and most are formed by the rock of the Middle Old Red Sandstone period, except for the hills of Hoy which consist of rocks from Upper Old Red Sandstone. The geology gives rise to sandstones and flagstones which split easily along bedding planes and are therefore ideal for building purposes. A fertile land of well-cultivated, gently rolling hills rising to spectacular sheer cliffs along the west and north coasts, the Orkney Islands lie at the meeting point of the Atlantic and North Sea where fresh coastal waters are rich in plankton and fish. Sea Cliffs, moors and marshland are home to over a million seabirds during the summer, making the islands a mecca for ornithologists. Some 85 per cent of the people in the Orkney Islands live on the Mainland, the remainder of the population live on 16 smaller islands ranging from Westray with a population of over 700 to Gairsay, with a single family. Kirkwall is the main administrative and shopping centre of the Orkney Islands and the focus of the annual St Magnus Festival. There are airlinks from mainland Scotland to Kirkwall Airport as well as daily roll-on/roll-off ferries connections between Scrabster and Stromness and passenger ferry links connecting John O' Groats and Burwick in South Ronaldsay. There are ferries to most of the inhabited islands and airfields servicing local flights on Flotta, South Walls, Westray, Papa Westray, Eday, North Ronaldsay, Sanday and Stronsay.

Orkney still actively uses parishes as administrative and cultural divisions.

History

Thought to derive its name from the Icelandic for the 'seal islands' Orkney has been settled since prehistoric times when its fertile soils and rich coastal waters attracted early man. A wealth of exceptional archaeological sites survive indicating that small communities began to settle in Orkney during the middle of the fourth millennium BC. During the late first millennium AD the Norse came to dominate the Orkneys, an influence that lasted until 1468 when the islands were pledged to King James III of Scotland as security for the dowry of Margaret of Norway, his queen. The Old Norse language was subsequently replaced by English, Gaelic never having been spoken in the Orkneys.

Industry

Employing over 2,000 workers, the main industry in Orkney today is farming, in particular beef farming. Of a total area of 1025 sq. km (395.7 sq. miles), 48 sq. km (18.5 sq. miles) is under crops, 468 sq. km (180.7 sq. miles) under grass and 278 sq. km (107.3 sq. miles) given over to rough grazing. Other major employers are Orkney Islands Council, Orkney Health Board and the oil terminal at Flotta. Manufacturing as an industry in Orkney is relatively small, depending on food products, distilling and craft goods such as textiles, jewellery and the famous Orkney chair.
