Arriving here

you can forget the outside world, surrounded by fantastic views, a myriad of natural phenomena changing with the season’s i.e. From Salmon Landings there are walks along and over the flow country to the nearby Priest stone or lighthouse on Strathy Point, Aurora Borealis aka Northern Lights may be seen on clear crisp nights; Primula Scotica and Northern Orchids in May/June; and the possibility of seeing orca/dolphin/seal rolling past under your nose; peregrine falcon, buzzards, gulls, curlews with migrating geese can often be spotted. You can be sure there is always something to watch out for. Numerous ships can be spotted passing between Salmon Landings and the island of Hoy (Orkney Islands) and you can resort to modern tracking devices online with ‘vessel-finder’ which will tell you where they have been, where they are going, and what they are carrying.
