Galtyha' is a much loved family home situated on the beautiful island of Eday. Eday is one of the Orkney outer isles and is accessible from the Orkney mainland via a ferry which is operated by Orkney Ferries or plane which is operated by Loganair.
Eday is an island of farms, heathery hills and several sandy beaches and has a community of around 130 residents. There is a general shop, post office, primary school and a resident nurse practitioner.
Galtyha' is situated close to the ferry at Backaland and local amenities are close by. Situated in a peaceful, elevated position with spectacular sea views.
