Hide AdOrkney is a group of 70 islands, 19 of which are inhabited, located off the north coast of Scotland.
The largest of the three islands - Faray - was last inhabited in the 1940s, when the final eight residents left.
The island is mainly to grass and has several beautiful sandy beaches together with rocky shorelines and cliffs.
A wide variety of bird and seals along the idyllic shoreline.
Faray and Holm of Faray are Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Special Areas of Conservation because of their important breeding and haul out sites for grey seals.
To the south end of the island is a jetty for access to and from the island.

Interested parties wishing to view Faray can contact Lows Property Department with a private boat will taking them from Rapness, Westray at a charge of £100.
