About Hatston
Hatston, located just northwest of Kirkwall on Mainland, Orkney, is notable for its historical significance as the site of the Royal Naval Air Station. Situated near the crucial naval base of Scapa Flow, which served as the primary base for the Home Fleet throughout much of the twentieth century, Hatston provided essential support for front-line squadrons and accommodated various naval aircraft. The airbase was home to the Home Fleet Fleet Requirements Unit and the 771 Naval Air Squadron, making it an important location for military operations in the region.
There are currently no active flood warnings for the Hatston area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Hatston a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
