About Chimney Sweeps

A chimney sweep cleans flues and chimneys to remove soot, tar, and blockages - essential for anyone with an open fire, wood burner, or multi-fuel stove.

An annual sweep is recommended for any chimney in regular use, and many home insurance policies require it.

Look for a sweep registered with the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps or HETAS, and keep the certificate they issue - your insurer may ask for it.

About Dounby

Dounby is a village in the heart of the Orkney Mainland, sitting in the agricultural interior between the lochs of Boardhouse and Hundland.

It functions as a small service centre for the surrounding farming community, with a primary school, medical practice, shops, a hotel, and the agricultural showground where the Dounby Show — one of Orkney's main agricultural events — is held each summer.

The village grew as a crossroads settlement and retains that character today, sitting at the junction of roads linking Birsay, Evie, Stenness, and Sandwick.

Dounby is unpretentious and practical — a working village that serves its community and provides a useful base for exploring the west Mainland.

About Orkney

Orkney coat of arms(opens in new tab)

Orkney is an archipelago of around 70 islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland, separated from Caithness by the Pentland Firth — one of the most powerful tidal races in Europe.

Of those 70 islands, roughly 20 are inhabited, and most of the population of around 22,000 lives on the largest island, known simply as the Mainland, where the towns of Kirkwall and Stromness serve as the administrative and cultural centres.

Orkney's history stretches back over 5,000 years. The Heart of Neolithic Orkney — a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Skara Brae, Maeshowe, the Ring of Brodgar, and the Stones of Stenness — represents some of the best-preserved prehistoric sites anywhere in northern Europe. The islands were under Norse rule for around 600 years, and that Scandinavian heritage remains visible in place names, dialect, and culture.

The islands are reached by ferry from Scrabster and Aberdeen, and by air from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness. Orkney's economy is built on agriculture, fishing, renewable energy, whisky, and tourism, and the islands have a quality of life consistently rated among the highest in Scotland.
