The season is drawing a close but we are still here should any intrepid souls wish to tour Westray with us during the winter. We’ve had a few folk miss our email replies, please check in your spam folders in case they drop there. If you phone us please leave a number so that we can get back in touch.

During the winter we intend to update our website in preparation for next season.

Karen and Andy Penn are delighted to be taking over Westraak Tours. We thank Graham and Kathy for all their hard work and dedication in establishing Westraak and making it such an asset to Westray and we are very grateful for the trust they have shown in us in taking over their business.

We look forward to welcoming visitors to Westray and showing off this special place. The puffins are here in good numbers, Noup Head is full of life. The fields are getting greener everyday and filling up with lambs and calves.

Archaeology:

The Links of Noltland Neolithic site is becoming more and more intriguing as Graeme Wilson and Hazel Moore, Directors of EASE Archaeology and their Team of experts, dig more and more into Westray’s past.

The excavations at Links of Noltland on Westray, Orkney were nominated, in February 2014, for the prestigious ’Best Rescue Dig’ award hosted by Current Archaeology Magazine and were the only Scottish candidate this year. Needless to say, they won the award! An open endorsement of the sheer importance of this site.
