Remarkable bunch of ruins in a pretty isolated (and somewhat chilly) place.
Somewhat? That's tongue-in-cheek, right? It's as far north as Glacier Bay, Alaska.
I've been to John o' Groats, which is about 10 miles south of the Orkneys. It was July, and I was wearing long woolies with a goosedown parka. In fact I spent a week in the Highlands and never took off the woolies except to bathe.
