Scapa Flow Museum
Military history buffs will appreciate the Scapa Flow Museum, which charts the role of Orkney in the First and Second World Wars. There are fascinating displays of military vehicles and guns from both wars, as well as equipment salvaged from the German boats scuttled off the coast. In the plain but poignant graveyard here, British and German personnel both rest in peace. If you want to take your car over to Hoy, book well in advance with Orkney Ferries, as this is a popular route. The museum is a five-minute walk from the Lyness ferry terminal on Hoy.
