Prestige Holidays : Orkney and Shetland

Shetland

Prestige Holidays has launched a four night twin centre Orkney and Shetland escape. Orkney Orkney is an archipelago off the northeastern coast of Scotland, comprising 70 islands of which 20 are inhabited. The islands encompass Neolithic sites, tall sandstone cliffs and seal colonies. The 'Heart of Neolithic Orkney' is a group of 5,000-year-old sites on Mainland, the largest island including Skara Brae.

There is also a preserved village with a reconstructed house, and Maeshowe, a chambered burial tomb incorporating 12th- century Viking carvings. Shetland Shetland, or the Shetland Islands, is an archipelago in the Northern Isles of Scotland, in the Northern Atlantic, between Great Britain, the Faroe Islands and Norway.

Attractions here include the Noss Wildlife Reserve, one of the most spectacular wildlife sites in Europe and the white sands of St Ninian’s Isle featuring the UK’s largest active sand tombolo. Prestige’s two centre break starts from autumn 2020 or April 2021 with two nights at the Smithfield Hotel in Orkney and two at the Kveldsro House Hotel in Lerwick.
