🛞 Mobile Tyre Fitter in Evie, Orkney

About Mobile Tyre Fitters

A mobile tyre fitter comes to your home, workplace or roadside to replace, repair or balance your tyres - saving you the trip to a garage and the wait.

Services typically cover puncture repairs, full tyre replacements, seasonal changeovers and emergency callouts when you're stuck with a flat.

In rural Scotland, where the nearest tyre garage can be a long drive away, a mobile fitter is worth knowing about - especially in winter when road conditions make the journey harder.

About Evie

Evie is a parish on the north-western coast of the Orkney Mainland, facing the island of Rousay across Eynhallow Sound.

The Broch of Gurness, a well-preserved Iron Age broch complex on the shore at Aikerness, is one of the finest examples of its kind in Scotland - the remains of a fortified tower surrounded by a village of stone houses.

The tiny uninhabited island of Eynhallow, visible from the shore, has the ruins of a medieval church and is the subject of enduring local folklore about disappearing islands.

Evie is a farming community with a primary school, a community hall and a coastline of sandy beaches and rocky headlands that make it a rewarding corner of the Mainland to explore.

About Orkney

(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.
