East Coast walk, South Ronaldsay

This excellent linear coastal walk runs along much of the east coast of South Ronaldsay, from the southernmost point up to the graveyard at Kirkhouse, 3km from St Margaret's Hope. Along the way is some fine coastal cliff scenery as well as archaeological remains. Transport would need to be arranged to walk the whole route, though there are several opportunities to join and leave the path.
