This time Iโ€™m travelling to the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland to live alone in a remote Scottish island farmhouse. It's located on Sanday Island, a remote and peaceful Scottish island. This old Scottish farmhouse has been carefully restored to its original charm, with a traditional Victorian farmhouse interior that feels like stepping back in time. There are so many things to do in Orkney, and while on the island I visited Sandayโ€™s stunning beaches, the ancient Quoyness chambered cairn, and the dramatic Start Point Lighthouse, while learning more about the Neolithic history in the Orkney Isles. If youโ€™re planning to visit Orkney or just love exploring remote parts of Scotland, this video in Orkney is all about slowing down and experiencing life on Sanday as it used to be. Staying in this beautiful old Scottish farmhouse, gave me an incredible glimpse into Scottish island living in the past. ๐Ÿ  Boloquoy Farmhouse: https://www.boloquoy.co.uk/ ๐Ÿ  Boloquoy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@boloquoy ๐Ÿ“– Shetland Cook Book: https://amzn.to/43K2LMC ๐Ÿฟ WATCH NEXT: SCOTTISH ISLAND COTTAGE LIFE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CZpuH_80vM&t=1s OFF-GRID CABIN LIFE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt-9u6Aqc7o&t=2141s 7 DAYS TRAVELLING THE ORKNEY ISLANDS: https://youtu.be/1mdqewBUnKM?si=cB-_8wPQfHQ68kjB CANAL BOAT LIFE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhjDg4xsmcY&t=2s VISITING UKโ€™S MOST REMOTE TOWN: https://youtu.be/AAD7HNP2fcA?si=0TTAidqCroQyeBNm EXTRA CONTENT ON PATREON: ๐ŸŽฌ Get access to exclusive uncut and bonus videos, behind-the-scenes content and sneak peeks into future projects - https://www.patreon.com/ruthaisling ๐ŸšŒ My Scotland Group Trips: https://ruthaisling.com/group-trips/ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ My Scotland Google Map: https://geni.us/L7sek2P ๐Ÿ’Œ Free Scotland Travel Guide: https://ruthaisling.com MY OTHER SOCIALS: ๐Ÿ“ธ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/ruthaisling ๐ŸŽฅ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/ruthaisling ๐Ÿ“ฑ TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@ruth.aisling ๐ŸŒ WEBSITE - https://ruthaisling.com MY FAVOURITE TOOLS & GEAR: ๐Ÿšฝ Trelino - The best van toilet (Use code RUTHAISLING for a discount or gift): https://geni.us/lC0UmdH ๐Ÿ”‹ Bluetti - My favourite van portable batteries (Use code BLUETTIRA for 5% discount): https://geni.us/ewxrm1v ๐ŸŽต Epidemic Sound - Music in my videos: https://geni.us/a1Qq WHO AM I?
