Rackwick is a remote crofting township on Hoy, set behind a bay of boulders and sand and ringed by high hills. Most of the crofts are holiday homes now, but it’s a gorgeous, quiet place, and the main starting point for the walk out to the Old Man of Hoy, the towering sea stack a mile and a half beyond. The composer Peter Maxwell Davies lived here for years.
