We took the 11.15 flight from Bristol ,arriving at Inverness at 1.15pm .The view of the Highlands from the plane were spectacular all covered in snow.We had a four hour wait for the connection to Kirkwall which was only a thirty five minute flight in a small taking only thirty three people plane, it was dark when we arrived at Kirkwall.we took a taxi ride to our accommodation for the next four nights, the Murry arms at St Margaret's Hope,south Ronaldsay.
After a good nights sleep and a hearty breakfast we took our first walk around the village before taking a long walk along the coast,the wildlife was very impressive with fields full of mixed waders and hundreds of Greylag Geese. Jill spotted two Harbour seals close into the shore which really made her day, the weather was not to bad, bright with a cold breeze.Over the next three days we viewed a few houses and took more walks around the surrounding coast.Our Hosts for our four night were Graham & Heather who made us very welcome & fed us well.
The locals in St Margaret's were all very help full and were interested in our search for a new home.
