Orkney Archipelago
The Orkney Archipelago is found just off of the north coast of Great Britain, and is composed of 70 islands, of which only 20 are populated. It boasts a vast amount of prehistorical, Bronze- and Iron-age history and has influenced swathes of literature. The luscious sites on these islands are even referred to in Arthurian legend.
