The Kennels is right on the lower main road (A964 or the Orphir Road) between Kirkwall and Stromness. It's approximately eight miles from each.


If you're coming from Kirkwall: Go through the village of Orphir; there'll be a bus stop a little way past the village, with a right turn labelled Scorradale. Go past this (don't turn up there) and you'll go round an S-bend. The kennels is the second building on your left (it looks like a clump of trees), and there will be a signpost saying Nealand. If you reach a large wooden chalet labelled Westrow, you've gone too far.


If you're coming from Stromness: You'll pass the Houton Bay Lodge (to your right) and then you'll pass a right turn labelled 'Earl's Bu and Church'. Ignore this and keep going left, past a couple of houses, and the Kennels will be signposted shortly after on your right. If you reach a bus stop and a sign that says Scorradale, you went too far.
