Westray - Queen o' the Isles
Westray has an excellent range of accommodation, a craft trail round the galleries and studios, a not to be missed Heritage Centre which is next to the hotel in Pierowall (famed for its fish and chips).
Westray also has a four star country house hotel, a four star hostel looking over Pierowall Bay and a 
five star hostel at the north end of the West Westray walk, looking out over the cliffs towards Rousay. Pierowall village hosts a brilliant children's play park, two general stores and another in the south of the island at Skelwick, a swimming pool at the school, a challenging nine-hole links golf course, Noltland Castle, and of course the harbour and marina at Gill Pier where there are changing facilities for visiting yachtsmen. Coffee, tea and light snacks are available at the Tourist Information Point opposite Lady Kirk, both hotels and the
Heritage Centre.
Westray has two coastal walks and the Westray Walks leaflet will be freely available with more walks from midsummer 2004.
Wildlife abounds with seals, birds especially puffins between late April and late July, clean sandy beaches where you can catch "spoots" in February and March, or go fishing in the lochs or from the shore.
You may choose to watch the sky which changes with the weather and enjoy the landscape, cliffs and beaches.
Whatever you choose you will be made very welcome and we know you will be reluctant to leave.
