Route directions

From Lyness ferry pier, either catch the community bus (check that there will be a bus meeting the particular ferry that you are planning to arrive on) or, if driving, follow the signs to Longhope. Stay on the road through Longhope until you see a brown Scottish Heritage sign for the Martello Tower. Take the left turn there, drive past Pools Holiday Cottage on your left and Hillside is the next house on the right. If you come by bus it will drop you at the end of the road where the Martello turning is. From here, it is a five-minute walk to the site.

Local attractions

Hoy has many brilliant walks and cycle routes across the island and is a well-known wildlife haven – here you might see golden eagles, sea eagles, seals, orcas, otters and hares, among other species. A round the island tour leaves from Longhope (five minutes' drive) if you're looking for a convenient way to learn about local geology, geography, history and wildlife in the same trip. Hoy is also full of fascinating history and heritage – there's a lifeboat museum just outside of Longhope (10 minutes) that's well worth visiting. The island hosted a major military base during both World Wars, so if that's of interest head to the Scapa Flow Museum (20 minutes) to find out more. For outdoor activities, try a hike up to the ancient Dwarfie Stane (or drive there in about half an hour), or head to Rackwick Bay (40 minutes) for the excellent walk to see the Old Man of Hoy. To see lighthouses and take a trip to the town of Stromness, meanwhile, just head up to the ferry terminal at Lyness (20 minutes).
