Land for sale

With gorgeous views of the north sea and neighbouring islands, this would be the ideal plot for a self-build holiday cottage, providing you and your family the perfect getaway from your busy lives (subject to planning consents). The plot of land is roughly 200sqm and could also be used as a camping/caravan site - current Orkney tent pitching fees are roughly £15-£30 per night. The land is nearby the Lairo water, which is a wetland renowned for a wide variety of bird species, and would be the ideal spot for bird watchers and ornithology enthusiasts. Shapinsay is one of the Orkney Islands, found of the north-west coast of Scotland, and the main settlement of Balfour has a regular ferry service from Kirkwall, Orkney's largest town. Orkney has often been voted the best place to live in the UK, and has won the title of Best Place to Live in Scotland for the last 8 years. This is mainly due to its stunning landscapes, low crime rates and quiet island life. Orkney is also a popular tourist destination, to both mainland Scots and international travellers alike. With the increase in popularity of the staycation type holiday brought about by the pandemic, now is the perfect time to set up your own holiday getaway.
