Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

Leaving Leeds a day early and headed for home, Fife. The boot is full to the top of the rear bench seat, and with the middle row removed, we are pretty cramped in the back.
You're looking at my son's piano (must be taken everywhere on holiday) and six additional bags of 'stuff'!!

Working our way up towards the north coast of Scotland and deciding whether to have a few days over on Orkney.

Orkney has some nice archeology, a few World War features, Italian chapel and a few barriers, and the obligatory snap next to the sign pointing towards the hamlet called t**t! But other than that I found it a little dull. The old street is Stromness is picturesque but I personally wouldn't make a special trip to visit. We went there for a week scuba diving the wrecks in the flow, and had a day doing tourist stuff when the weather meant we could not dive, but I'm not sure I'd return.
I suppose it depends on whether you intend visiting the north coast again soon?

Do visit the caves at Durness. The drive along the north coast is nice (I say drive, I have traveled that road three times, but only by bicycle).

Perhaps there are things to do on Orkney which I missed and others will tell us about?

Edit: apologies to the mods, if this post is flagged for rude language. The hamlet really is called T w a t.
