Yesnaby is one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in Orkney, and should definitely be on your list of ‘must see’ locations during a visit to the islands.
Found on the west coast of the Orkney mainland, this wild location offers stunning sea views. During a westerly gale you can expect huge waves crashing into the cliffs, but in calmer weather it’s a nature-lovers paradise, with wild flowers – including Primula scotica – and plenty of seabirds to spot.
