𝐀 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭 | 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐎𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐲 South Walls is a tidal island or peninsula at the southern end of Hoy in Orkney, Scotland. It is connected to the main body of Hoy, and to the district of North Walls, by a thin neck of land known as the Ayre. Its largest settlement is the village of Longhope, which lies on a long natural harbour of the same name. Overlooking Longhope in the north east is Hackness Martello Tower and Battery. The tower, together with another on the north side at Crockness on Hoy, was built in 1815 to protect British ships in the bay of Longhope against attack by American and French privateers, during the Napoleonic Wars. #longhope #sailorkney #southwalls #martellotower #scapaflow #adventuresailing #0rkney #scotland #orkney
