Description

** SALE BY AUCTION - 24 September 2026 - Timed Online Auction **

Do not miss out on this outstanding opportunity to land in one of Scotland's most desirable locations. 1.34 acre site with fishing rights and access to the renowned Loch of Harray, the largest loch on Orkney Mainland close to the World Heritage Neolithic Sites; The Stones of Stenness and Ring of Brodgar. Close to beautiful beaches, shipwrecks at Scapa Flow and the Prehistoric Skara Brae Village. Amazing location only 20 minutes from the Island's main town- Kirkwall, 20 minutes from St Magnus Cathedral, the Italian Chapel and 30 minutes from Kirkwall Airport, with regular flights to and from the UK mainland Harry Loch is widely regarded as the Jewel in the Crown for freshwater fishing in the North of Scotland and is famed for the abundance of trout, drawing fishing enthusiast from across Europe- with a particular demand for access to the waters from March to October. An area on the shore will be designated for fishing ensuring all lots have full access to the hardy trout of the loch. The hard-fighting trout average 10-12ozs but fish of up to 2lbs are not uncommon at all. Well-regarded International Sporting Holiday firm River and Green regularly bring high nett worth clients to Loch of Harray and regard it as some of the best wild Brown Trout fishing available in the UK. The winter months entice hunters of wild fowl with a particular demand for the famed local geese. The hunting season in Orkney runs from October to April. The land offers potential for multiple uses- the area around Harry Loch enjoys a strong demand for short-term accommodation- This suggests fisherman's huts, cabins, chalets, yurts and pods would make for an ideal investment. The opportunity exists for individual land owners- or as a collective for the installation of a small jetty aiding access to the water- many land owners and commercial ventures in the area already have this provision available. 3 permanent chalets have already been completed (to a very high standard) within yards of this land. Of course, all development is subject to planning approval where necessary. The nearby Merkister Hotel enjoys a stellar reputation, is extremely popular with visitors for it's excellent food and hospitality and is highly recommended by Braveheart Auctions. Boat Hire and days trips are available at the Merkister. Orkney is famous for it's incredible native wildlife with the islands calling themselves home to many internationally important populations of wildlife including puffins, otters, white tailed eagles, dolphins, sea-lions and seals. Orkney is one of the best places in the UK to see whales with Humpbacks, Sperm whales, Minke, Pilot Whales and Orcas regularly spotted in the waters around the isles. Located 10 miles north of mainland Scotland, Orkney is an archipelago of 70 islands, 20 of which are inhabited. Like many islands, Orkney does not have mammals such as foxes, badgers, weasels and, until recently, stoats. This has allowed many species of ground-nesting birds and the Orkney vole, a distinct sub-species found nowhere else in the world, to thrive.
