Lyness is a small settlement located on the island of Hoy in Orkney, Scotland. The village gained historical significance during World War I and II when it served as a major Royal Navy base. The natural harbor at Lyness played a crucial role as a strategic location for the British Home Fleet in Scapa Flow.

Today, the village preserves its maritime heritage through the Scapa Flow Visitor Centre and Museum, housed in the former naval pump house. This museum documents the area's significant military history and the impact of two world wars on Orkney's communities. The restored wartime buildings and remaining military structures in Lyness provide tangible connections to its naval past.
