Many possibilities
Birsay is an area of Orkney, in the north of the island where there is a bit of everything. It's a village, a ruined palace, a beach, a lighthouse and cliffs, and I may be forgetting something. However, it's really a very picturesque place, you can enjoy the many possibilities offered by the site in good weather. It's a particularly quiet place with beautiful coastal walks that are most of the time along cliffs, so you should proceed with a bit of caution (or rather common sense, you can see many crazy people who make you think a little). There are three areas recommended for visiting, which include the palace ruins, the Island or Birsay "Brough", accessible only when the tide is low to the remains of previous civilizations and the old lighthouse, and finally, the Skiba Geo (next review), where a whale bone marks one of the most important references (some time ago) and spectacular views.
