Episode Details

Pentland Ferries is set to transform St Margaret’s Hope with a sleek, three-story terminal designed to modernize ferry operations and elevate the passenger experience. The new building will feature office space, customer service areas, a waiting room, and a covered walkway for all-weather comfort. Beyond passengers, it’ll house admin offices, technical zones, and meeting rooms — all while prioritizing energy efficiency and accessibility. Architectural firm HRI Munro Architecture calls it a “contemporary, high quality” gateway for Orkney visitors. Managing Director Helen Inkster labels it an “ambitious move,” essential for supporting current services and future growth. Construction timing hinges on planning approval, while a temporary booking office is being sought in the interim — a major private investment poised to strengthen the vital link between Orkney and Caithness.
