We left the house in the campervan about 11am, and drove up the A9. We stopped just past the Kessock Bridge at Inverness to give Oscar a short walk. We drove on to Thurso, and went to Blue Door Burgers for our dinner, sitting in. The burgers and chips were pretty good, Shirley had the Classic and Scott had a Slaw Dawg (with coleslaw).
After dinner we checked in for the ferry at Scrabster and joined the queue. The ferry was due to leave at 7pm and started boarding about 6.30.
We left Oscar in the van as it's only a 90 minute crossing to Stromness. We went out on deck for a bit but it was quite windy, so we mainly sat inside.
As we passed the island of Hoy we could see the sea stack known as the Old Man of Hoy.
For our first night we stopped at a wild camping spot just outside Stromness, next to the Links Battery, a World War installation.
