Start Point Lighthouse Tours

Start Point Lighthouse was built to help guide sailors through stormy waters. Still a striking feature of the landscape today, it's bound to have some tales to tell about sailing adventures and tragedies.

This Orkney Islands longstanding beacon is an ideal place to begin your day of sightseeing. There's loads to do and see close by, including North Ronaldsay Bird Observatory, Woollen Mill, and New Kirk. Take your time at Start Point Lighthouse before hitting up these other fine sights.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,939 reviews)
Apartment was in a great location which was very quiet off The Royal Mile. The apartment was very spacious and was very well equipped with kitchen items. Having a washing machine was very handy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. An express Tesco was a short walk away. Highly recommend!
