Visiting this great little centre on Westray is a must. Its so well layed out with island history and life. If the weather is good your visit may be quick but you will still find plenty of interesting information if the weather is poor you can extend your time to read even more. The Westray Venus is fascinating to see and hear about.

Tiny museum with a lot of information about Westray and Orkney. Small fair entrance fee. Would definitely recommend spending half an hour here if you're around.

Save an hour for the Westray Heritage Trust. Tells a fascinating story which put our visit to Westray into context and showed how we are just a mere blip in the human history of these islands. The lady on duty is delightful and shared her knowledge with us. Thank you.
