Accommodation: Orkney

Live teached me not to visit Orkney during mid of june. Some sort of musical festival is going on and all rooms are booked and sold out.

So I arrived later. The days and nights I stayed in Kirkwell on Orkney I had the interesting experience to sleep in the only place with trees in a 150 kilometer radius.

Accommodation: Cruden Bay

Bram Stoker traveled regular to Slain's Castle, which is located over the cliffs of Cruden Bay, north of Aberdeen. The castle becomes famous, as Stoker rebuilded this place in the middle of the Carapatians ... and populate it with the undeaths. Shiver!

A room with a very special view is to be found in the St Olaf's Hotel in Cruden Bay. As you sit in a huuuuge sofa you see Staine's Castle in the distance, glowing pink in the evening sun. Fall asleep and wake up in the night again. Vampire's Caste is a black shadow looking over the cliffs.

St Olaf's Hotel is on mainroad near Cruden Bay Golf Course.

Accommodation: Whitby

The town at the english eastcoast is covered with Hotels, Inns and B&Bs. So I have the feeling it is no problem to find a place to stay there for one or several nights. Tourist information place is located in between harbor and trainstation. Lovley ladies working there will search you a room and show you he way to your accommodation.
The place they sent me last year was a B&B named "Number Five" @ Havelock Place. Wonderful place, offering a spooky fullmoon nightview at Whitby Cathedral - and a grandiose full english breakfast in the morning. If you are looking for a special place, ask for the room under the roof and stay as long as you can.
