Walk: Sacquoy Head's assault on the senses
Orkney | Rousay | Half day walk | ★★★ [Kilns of Brin-Novan blowholes] With screeching arctic terns, a smelly geo (appropriately named Stinkanie), and dramatic blowholes and natural arches to peer into, a visit to Sacquoy Head is a truly multi-sensory experience. During summer the territorial terns will dive at you (but shouldn't make contact), protecting their breeding grounds just inland from the coast. Come prepared with a walking pole or umbrella if you find the idea of this unsettling.
