Rousay Revealed - Revealing the past.

Join me and embark on a journey with Rousay Tours and delve into the rich archaeological and huma history and the daily life of a small but significant Orcadian island.

On your tour I will show you a variety of archaeological features giving you the opportunity to explore and imagine how the ancient people may have lived, worked and traded and how people exist on the island today.

Wildlife surrounds us and I will be happy to stop the minibus should you see something of particular interest.

Rousay Revealed is my very popular and engaging tour of Rousay and includes a circuit of the island with an opportunity to see the rich landscape, flora and fauna and visit the most requested archaeological sites. We'll discuss island life through the centuries and what it's like now to live on our wonderful island. You will be my focus as I provide an immersive and authentic exploration of island life, allowing you to witness its beauty and rich history up close.

Tea and coffee will be provided but please bring your own lunch. We will have a brief lunch stop at Saviskaill where you can observe seals and seabirds and hardy swimmers (the Rousay Polar Bears).

Please be aware that the tour does involve a moderately steep descent/ascent to Midhowe and some routes to other sites are uneven/muddy so good footwear is essential.

Due to the varied landscape and tracks the tour is not suitable for people with mobility issues.

From £60 per adult
