The apartment is situated by the sea on the Hillswick shore, with some of Europe's wildest, most unspoiled coastal scenery right on the doorstep. Otters, seals and whales are often seen and the weather is always entertaining, often extreme.
Next door is the local community shop and the wildlife sanctuary, while a licensed hotel and bar is just a short walk away.
Directions
Follow signs for Hillswick. At the St Magnus Bay Hotel, turn left towards the sea. Drive past the Hillswick Community Shop. Gallery and apartment is on the right.
