On the way back from Kenzies Tower, via the Counminty Hall Cafe for coffee and cake. Descended down the fence line over the moor to the road. 15 mins from summit to pier, perfectly timed as the ferry arrived.Minto13/08/2022

A day on Flotta for the 2 hills, the 2 trigs and 13 benchmarks. Community cafe a must visit. High point has a wind turbine on it and the precise spot has been spoiled by the dirt road, who knows where it is now.jonglew28/07/2022

From the ferry pier. Disturbed ground is extensive as this was once a Navy Signal Station and Radio Station - see http://canmore.org.uk/site/333286 Fascinating to have flown directly over the top on the approach to Kirkwall Airport earlier in the day.summitsup31/08/2018
