Your map is good and the flying distance is fine. However the "driving distance" and reference to average speed is nonsensical since between the two islands the only way to travel (with car) is by ferry and the journey takes several hours.
It is also a mystery why the reference to Edinburgh which is a city several hundred miles away and irrelevant. I suggest you replace 'Edinburgh' with Scotland which is loosely the region of Britain associated with the Orkney and Shetland islands.
I think this entry needs to be reviewed and amended.
