One rainy Orcadian day we wandered into this little museum. The museum is one room packed to the rafters with artifacts. Everywhere you look there is another intriguing piece of history.. Radio historians, WWII buffs, and technology fans will find plenty to explore ... rain or shine.

Revisit the old radios of your youth. There is also an excellent display on radar and the use of radio communication in Orkney by the military during the WW I & II.

Fascinating insight into all things radio. our 8 year old enjoyed doing morse code and getting his radio licence. Well worth a visit. Very diverse and had a wide range of items to see.

Well worth three quid and half an hour of your time. Every inch, including the ceiling, of the space is packed full of radios from every era.
