See inside the finest mansion in Orkney and experience 5,000 years of history at Skaill House.
Built for Bishop George Graham in 1620, this imposing mansion is peacefully situated between the sea and the Loch of Skaill. Explore inside this ancient residence and admire family heirlooms including a Norse calendar stick and a dinner service that was used by Captain James Cook. Located just 200 m from the Neolithic village of Skara Brae, entry to both this archaeological site and the house are included as a joint ticket. The house is also available all year for weddings and private functions and in its North Wing there are two apartments available as holiday accommodation.
