Orkney
Orkney is an archipelago in the Northern Isles of Scotland. It is located 10 miles north of the coast of Caithness and consists of 70 islands, of which 20 have settlements. The island chain has a total area of 523 square miles, meaning that it is the sixth largest Scottish island and the tenth largest island in the UK. Kirkwall is Orkney's most considerable administrative centre. Orkney comprises one of the 32 council areas of Scotland, as well as being a constituency of the Scottish Parliament, a lieutenancy region and an one-time county. The local council is Orkney Islands Council, being one out of three councils in Scotland that have a majority of elected members who are independents. Most of the islands are divided into 2 groups, the North and South Isles, and a feature of all the islands is the presence of Old Red Sandstone. With a mild climate and notably fertile soil, farming remains to be the most substantial part of the economy. Exportation of beef, cheese, whisky, beer and fish also continues to have a role in the economy, but there has been an increase in areas such as retail, representing 17 percent of total employment. Growing in notability are the wind and marine energy sources, and the island produces in excess of its yearly electrical power demand through these techniques. According to the 2011 census, Orkney has a population of 20100, growing 11 percent from the 2001 census. A wide range of festivals occur on the islands which attract large numbers of locals and citizens, such as the Orkney International Science Festival and the St. Magnus International Arts Festival happening every year in June.
