- With a landmark 12th century Viking cathedral and an internationally renowned whiskey distillery (Highland Park), Kirkwall punches well above its weight. This small town is the centre of life in the windswept Orkney Islands. Known in Old Norse as Kirkjuvagr, Kirkwall began life as a small village with a sheltered harbour before rapidly expanding in the 12th century to become an important North Atlantic Viking stronghold. These days it's the perfect base from which to explore the landscapes and neolithic sites of Orkney, boasting a range of hotels, and independent shops and eateries. This film will give you a taste of Kirkwall and features an interview with Judith Glue (whose knitwear store has faced the cathedral for over 40 years) and popular local artist Jane Glue (whose art is available through www.janeglue.com).
Filmed August 2022

Orkney looks amazing
It is!
Life in Orkney is brilliant. There is so much to do outside of Kirkwall as well
Lovely place! Orkney is one of my favourite places. We were there on holiday, and flying from Mainland, the big island, to North Ronaldsay (the island where the sheep live on the seashore and eat seaweed). We seated ourselves aboard a 6-seater aircraft. The pilot climbed into his seat. "Good morning everybody", he said, "the safety instructions are on a card in the pocket on the back of the seat in front of you;- but basically, all you need to remember is that if I'm not here, you shouldn't be either!"
I would love to get to North Ronaldsay some day.
I’ll remember that when I visit in August.
I find this series fascinating. That’s kind of strange, because I’m Welsh….
My great-grandparents were from Orkney and migrated to Australia.
bonjournice to meet oyu-yo. cool ~🤘
I,ll have to give this a thumbs up for the name at least JW ORPHIR ORKNEY
Haha, great to know that I have a namesake in Orkney. Hope the sun is shining in Orphir today!
