Better stick with the 1971 edition .... 24 July 2009

By Fuerte Fan

Format:Paperback

Some nice colour pictures, but then you can get those in the local tourist board freebie brochures. Having read both this book and Patrick Bailey's original (1971, reprinted 1974) harback 'Orkney' (in the David and Charles Island Series)can't help feeling that you'd be better off sticking with the latter if it's background you want. OK, some of the info is now outdated but the geography and geology, history and (to some exent) archaeology don't change. And they are all dealt with in much greater depth than in this new, slim volume. Really wish I hadn't bothered.

More magazine than guide 23 Jun 2009

By J. van der Vaart

Format:Paperback

An interesting read with good pictures. I would have been even happier with a little more guidance on what to see where and when and how to get there. Orkney was better than the book!

not a guide book 13 July 2009

By l morrice

Format:Paperback

This is a very dated book - not at all what I was looking for. It reminds me of old school textbooks; interesting, yes, but not a guide book for first time visitors to Orkney.

If you're going to Orkney

A good, interesting read if you're going to Orkney. Yes, Orkney is fantastic for scenery, people, wildlife and archaelogy.
