Yesnaby

Sea Arch at Yesnaby
Yesnaby is one of my favourite places on the Orkney Mainland. It has rugged cliffs, raging seas, and on a clear day you can glimpse the mountains of Scotland in the South, and even see Ben Hope.  Even on a beautiful sunny day it can feel really wild.  It is off this coastline that it is proposed to put the marine energy technology sometime over the next few years.  The Scottish Government have granted licenses to various renewable energy companies.  It remains to be seen what actually appears on the water but potentially it could have a strong visual impact on the landscape at Yesnaby.  For now I shall rejoice in the wildness of the space!
