What to expect

  1. Standing Stones of Stenness
    30m
    Originally there were twelve stones, some standing up to six metres high. Today only four remain. The function is unclear but our best guess is that they were involved in activities and ceremonies celebrating the relationship between living and past communities.
  2. Broch of Gurness
    40m · Admission ticket included
    This impressive Iron Age complex is one of the most outstanding examples of a later prehistoric settlement to survive in Scotland.
  3. The Italian Chapel
    40m · Admission ticket included
    The Italian Chapel is a beautiful Roman Catholic chapel in Lamb Holm which was constructed by Italian POWs during the Second World War.
  4. Saint Magnus Cathedral
    1h
    Also known as the “light in the North”, it was founded in 1137 by the Viking Earl Rognvald in honour of his uncle St. Magnus who was martyred in Orkney.
  5. Kirkwall
    1h
    Kirkwall is a bustling, busy town, but it's one with a historic centre full of character.
  6. Ring of Brodgar
    25m
    Ring of Brodgar is the finest known circular late Neolithic or early Bronze Age stone ring. It is a site of ritual and ceremony and hauntingly beautiful. Get your cameras ready to take some great pictures!!
