Welcome to Papa Westray

Known to locals as Papay, Papa Westray is one of the most northerly of Scotland's Orkney islands. Described as 'Orkney in miniature', this small island is rich in archaeology - including the Knap of Howar (older than the Pyramids) and chambered cairns on the Papay Holm - and birdlife, especially on the North Hill RSPB reserve. The two-minute hop between Papa Westray and its neighbour Westray is the world's shortest scheduled flight.

This website provides information on how to get to Papa Westray, where to stay, ideas on what to see and do - and the Papay Development Trust Community Plan.
