Wonderful stuff! Thank you for watching and I hope you’ll check out my brother, Hamish Auskerry’s videos which have lots more about the island too. Cheers from Scotland.

So relaxing. Farm & sea altogether. I watched it 3 times because it brought back memories of both in my younger days. Thank you Rory for bringing us along.

Brilliant Docu series. Such a different life from ours in Switzerland but maybe that's why it has so much appeal? We just spent some days on Mainland Orkney last week, taking the ferry from Aberdeen and it was my favorite part of our Scotland trip. How do you feel about the cruise ship tourists flooding the mainland every other day? Of course, we are also tourists but were a bit shocked as it isn't the kind of traveling we prefer. Nonetheless, this video makes me want to return to Orkney and discover the islands a bit more.

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you had a great visit to Orkney. It’s a wonderful place and I can see why so many people want to see it via the cruise ships. I think it’s a mixed blessing. It does bring jobs and money for the community but it is also quite a strain on services and causes issues for some businesses. I can’t say I feel that strongly about it either way.

Great journalism is your gift. Thanks to you so much for sharing

Thanks for watching. It sadly doesn’t really fit with my life as an offshore helicopter pilot but I love the island.

My ancestors are Orkadian. It's hard for me to think of life with no trees. I guess this is it.

Yeah, trees don’t do well on Orkney but there are some and I think there were more many centuries ago. Thanks for watching.

What a terrific short film. It’s a place I’d love to go but it’s important to limit the footprint - I imagine cruise ships stopping at other islands in Orkney both help the economy but then exhaust resources. Heli tours locally would be brilliant but the wildlife may not co-exist with it all that well. It seems such a honest lifestyle. Thank you for making this series, I’ve watched this three times myself now!
