This is a list of Orkney islands in Scotland. The Orkney archipelago is located 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of mainland Scotland and comprises over 70 islands and skerries, of which 20 are permanently inhabited. In addition to the Orkney Mainland there are three groups of islands. The North and South Isles lie respectively north and south of Mainland. The Pentland Skerries are a group of small islands in the Pentland Firth, a dangerous stretch of water between mainland Scotland and the larger islands of Orkney, through which run the strongest tidal streams in Britain. The Island of Stroma is often mistakenly included with the Orkney Islands, but is part of Caithness.

  • La liste des îles des Orcades recense les îles de l'archipel des Orcades d'une superficie supérieure à 15 hectares (0,15 km2). Pour les îles inhabitées la date de la dernière occupation n'est pas toujours connue, cependant presque toutes les îles énumérés ici auraient été habitées à un moment donné au cours du néolithique, de la période picte ou viking.

  • Questa voce rappresenta una lista delle isole Orcadi in Scozia. L'arcipelago delle Isole Orcadi si trova a 16 km a nord ella terraferma scozzese, e comprende 70 isole e scogli, dei quali 20 sono abitati permanentemente. Oltre a Mainland, vi sono tre gruppi di isole: le Isole del Nord e le Isole del Sud sorgono rispettivamente a nord e sud di Mainland. Le Pentland Skerries sono una serie di piccole isole situate nel Pentland Firth, un pericoloso stretto di mare situato tra la Scozia e le isole maggiori delle Orcadi, attraverso il quale si trovano le più forti correnti di marea del Regno Unito. L'isola di Stroma spesso viene citata all'interno delle isole Orcadi, ma in realtà fa parte di Caithness. (it)
