Another piece of 20th Century military history from our recent Orkney trip, the well preserved First World War Balfour Battery on South Ronaldsay, Orkney.
With paboramic views over the anchorage of Scapa Flow Hoxa Head is a great place to visit, historic remains for both World Wars are present along the coast and Wales, Porppoises, Dolphins and other marine mammals can often be seen from the viewpoint.
Do take time to visit the beach on the way in - hubby found a piece of old earthenware pottery, dating back at least to medieval times - and the Tapestry Gallery, with its stunning contemporary pieces and prints.
