Kirkwall is a popular port in the islands off mainland Scotland’s northern coast. The capital of the Orkney Islands was founded in 1035. Today it’s a lively market town with many shops and restaurants, and welcoming bed and breakfasts. Visit the medieval St. Magnus Cathedral, old Bishop’s Palace and the Earl’s Palace. For a taste of single malt whisky, take a tour of nearby Highland Park Distillery.
