Lyness and Scapa Flow. The view looks down from a hillside in sunshine over a stand of trees towards a scattered settlement on the near shore of a body of water. An oil tank is prominent in the centre of the settlement. There are a number of islands in the body of water, with more oil tanks visible on one of them.

The view east from the slopes of Wee Fea on the island of Hoy in Orkney, taking in Lyness and, beyond it, Scapa Flow and the islands of Fara and Flotta. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#ScapaFlow is full of history. This is one of two slipways built at Houton in the NE corner of the Flow for getting seaplanes in and out of the water in WWI. In Aug 1917, it was near here in Scapa Flow that Sqn Cdr Edwin Dunning completed the first deck land on a moving ship.

Not in the woods today but back in my beloved #Orkney. Driving home from the ferry I was met with this view over #ScapaFlow …. It’s great to see so many ships in this historic harbour twice home to the wartime #RoyalNavy

Hackness Martello Tower. The image shows a circular stone structure in the right middle of the frame. It is accessed by external metal stairs on its left and surmounted by a flagpole with a light blue flag. The foreground is grassy and there are some buildings and the sea in the background. The sky is blue.

Hackness Martello Tower on the island of South Walls in Orkney. It was built in 1814 to guard Longhope Sound, part of Scapa Flow, from attack by the French and by US privateers. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

As seen from a likely tender, SMS Bayern is at anchor in Scapa Flow in rather poor condition. By the time of the scuttling, anything of value that could be easily removed had been traded away on the black market.
