Kenila B&B, Orkney
Today we left Mainland Orkney on the ferry. Kenila was such a nice place to stay and Sheila is a wonderful Bean an Tí.
Below are pictures from the ferry ride back to the mainland…

The Old Man of Hoy
We had our first rain of the trip today – at least we were planning on a long drive. We did stop shortly to look at a great castle named Dunrobin. It’s the estate of the Sutherlands and has beautiful gardens and big amazing grounds. We just did a quick pass through and then we were back on the road.
We spent the night at an old farmhouse called Newmill Farm a couple of miles out of Bankfoot. We arrived about 6 PM. Then we went into Bankfoot and ate at the Hotel. The B&B building was great, it looks like a Colonial Era (U.S.) building. The food and staff were amazing. We woke up the next morning well rested and ready to see some sites en route to Edinburgh.
