Explore Orkney

Orkney has magic like nowhere else in Scotland.

The archipelago of islands where the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet has echoes of Vikings, Neolithic villages, ancient standing stones, and white sandy beaches.

The Kirkwall Hotel, on the north coast of Orkney’s mainland, is perfectly situated to explore all the island’s fascinating sights.

Within walking distance of the hotel is St Magnus Cathedral, the Earl and Bishop’s Palaces, The Orkney Museum, The Highland Park Distillery, and the Visitor Centre. Orkney’s Neolithic sights, such as Skara Brae and The Ring of Brodgar are just a short drive away.
