24/7 recovery in and around Burness
Burness sits in the northern-eastern part of Orkney Islands; the nearest sizeable centres are Aberdeen (~149 mi south), Dundee (~195 mi south), Edinburgh (~231 mi south); there is no motorway close by, so we run in on the A-roads and local routes.
Because of its more rural location and distance from the motorway network, a realistic arrival window for Burness is ~40–75 min once a truck is dispatched.
We cover Burness and the roads out toward Otterswick (~2 mi south), Templehall (~2 mi south), Lady (~2 mi south-east), Broughtown (~3 mi south), Overbister (~3 mi south-east), so help is rarely far from wherever you have stopped — roadside, car park, driveway or private land.
