Lying east of a dividing line drawn between Kirkwall and Scapa Bay, the East Mainland of Orkney is a rich agricultural area producing a large proportion of the beef cattle for which Orkney is renowned. Although not as rich in archeological sites as the West Mainland, there are still a number of interesting sites, both natural and man made, to be visited.
