Today was a walking tour of Kirkwall. Day was lovely sunny and warm with a light breeze. We started off by Saint Olaf’s gate.

Then walked to The Cathedral built by the Vikings. The Cathedral run by the council is now secular but still banned a humanist wedding!!!

On to the Earls house, which is a ruin and then the Bishops house also a ruin.

We all then went on to lunch which was rather a time consuming affair, taking rather too long to prepare the main courses for us all. The afternoon was spent visiting the museum where the had a  display from the archaeological digs in Orkney.

The late afternoon was sunny, though with some cloud coming in. Hope to take some spectacular sunset, late evening photographs.
