Lena’s Insiders Guide to Pierowall Hotel
Westray Golf Course: Located next to Notland castle, this golf course is open to the elements, leading to some challenging play and some truly incredible views. A 10-minute walk from Pierowall, it is very accessible for those who love the historic game.
Notland Castle: Built for the master of Mary Queen of Scots' household, Gilbert Balfour, this imposing Castle has managed to stand the test of time. Reportedly never completed, the castle is dotted with 71 gun holes denoting its strategic importance.
The Links of Notland archaeological dig: From between 3300 BC to 800 BC, this farming settlement was in action. With multiple neolithic remains, including buildings, this is a great location to visit to see the history of Scotland being uncovered.
Castle o’Burrian: This is the place to visit if you want to see some truly incredibly birds in the wild; if you visit between April and August, you have a great chance of seeing Puffins! If you time your holiday right, this is a must-see on your trip.
Beaches: As a result of the geography of the surrounding area, there are many fabulous beaches dotted around. Lena and the rest of the staff are incredibly happy to recommend some to you, depending on how far you want to travel.
