About this spot
The Hall of Clestrain was a magnificent 18th-century mansion, now a ruin, that stands as a testament to Orkney's rich history. It was the birthplace of John Rae, the Arctic explorer who discovered the final link in the Northwest Passage. The hall's ruins, surrounded by rolling hills and a picturesque loch, is a great lost place photo spot, especially with the long drive which can be used as a leading line.
This spot is particularly stunning in late spring or early summer, when the meadow flanking the long driveway transforms into a riot of wildflowers, creating a captivating foreground for your photos.
