    Stunning spot to park up. Large enough for many vehicles, but only us once visitors to the Broch had left. A wild and windy night, but a beautiful sunrise. The Broch itself is a cracker. P.s. you may see a cat pretending to be abandoned. Don't fall for it, it's a local and a chancer...haha (lives at a local farm).

    Large parking lot with great views. Slightly slopping. Few visitors to the archeological site in afternoon and very quiet night. Weak phone signal.

    Quiet, no trouble. Very exposed to the wind!We parked here during a typical Orcadian storm, and the van was practically shaking. Worst right at the coast, much better behind the little dune.

    Absoluut geweldige plek om te staan. Wel er veel wind. In september stonden we er met drie campers. Er is echter ruimte voor veel meer.

    Absolutely stunning location. Arrived at night along a lonely windy lane which felt a bit spooky. But in the morning woke up to gannets diving, grey seal watching over us and dolphins in the narrow straight. We were the only people there and plenty of space for camper vans. No facilities. The Broch is well worth visiting. Treat with respect…..a special spot.

    Sehr schöner, ruhiger Parkplatz kurz vor dem Broch, genug Platz mit Blick auf Sandstrand und die Bucht, eine schöne Bank lädt ein den Sonnenuntergang zu beobachten

    Sehr windig aber hinter dem Deich war es sehr geschützt, die Aussicht war am Wasser besser. In der sehenswerten historischen Anlage zu der dieser Platz gehört, Historic Scotland, gibt es keine Toiletten. Ansonsten sehr ruhig und absolut einsam, mit Besuch von Robben am Abend und Morgen. An den meisten Stellen ausreichend bis gut gerade. Es kommen am Tag auch große Busse her.

    Really peaceful place to stay. Room for up to 20 campers, but there was no one around. Can be a bit windy in November though.

    Large, peaceful parking area with lovely views and lots of wildlife. Next to the Broch of Gurness tourist attraction which is well worth a visit.

    Superbe parking pour dormir et regarder le couché de soleil. Attention pas de services. très peu fréquenté, uniquement pour visiter les ruines
