Orkney, One of the Country’s Most Romantic Destinations
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes that the Orkney Islands have been recognised and shortlisted as one of the most romantic destinations in the UK, as part of a series of awards organised by the publishers, Mills & Boon; notes that Orkney has been shortlisted alongside Bath, Brighton, St Ives, Stratford-upon-Avon, the Lake District, the Brecon Beacons, Edinburgh, Oxford and York; considers that Orkney's dramatic and magical landscape has long been a draw for couples from across the world, and believes that this recognition will further boost tourism to Orkney and will do for many years to come.
