Tour Scotland photograph of Yesnaby Castle, South of Skara Brae, on the West Coast of the mainland Orkney Islands, Scotland. It is renowned for its spectacular Old Red Sandstone coastal cliff scenery which includes sea stacks, blowholes, geos and frequently boiling seas. The area is popular with climbers because of Yesnaby Castle, a sea stack just south of the Brough of Bigging. The stack is sometimes described as a smaller version of the Old Man of Hoy. Yesnaby is also one of the very few places where Primula scotica grows. Orkney folklore has it that a woman known as the " Yesnaby Healer " had the ability to stop bleeding in any person, even over a distance.
