Høydepunkter
Kirkwall is the capital of the Orkney Islands in Scotland and a hub for its rich history, marked by key historical sites, including Saint Magnus Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace, and the Earls' Palace. Saint Magnus Cathedral is a striking example of medieval architecture, built in the 12th century. Located adjacent to Saint Magnus Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace is a significant historical building from the 12th century, originally the residence of the Bishop of Orkney. It was once a grand residence but now remains in ruins, with remnants of the stone structure, including walls, doorways, and arches, still visible. The Earls' Palace, also located in Kirkwall, was built in the early 17th century by Earl Patrick Stewart. This impressive Renaissance-style building once served as the residence of the Earl of Orkney and was known for its grand design. These landmarks collectively highlight Kirkwall's historical importance and the island's rich Norse and Scottish heritage.

About Kirkwall
Kirkwall is the main town of Orkney, with a twelfth-century cathedral of red sandstone, ruined palaces, a working harbour and Neolithic sites close by.
Kirkwall is the capital of Orkney, on the largest island, the Mainland, facing a sheltered bay. Its centrepiece is St Magnus Cathedral, built of red and yellow sandstone and begun in 1137 by Earl Rognvald in honour of his uncle Magnus, with the ruined Bishop's and Earl's palaces beside it. Narrow flagstoned streets lined with grey stone shops run along the harbour, and the Orkney Museum occupies a sixteenth-century town house.
