Kirkwall History & Heritage के बारे में

Kirkwall के आसपास रूचि और चलने के स्थानों के लिए गाइड

Kirkwall is the capital of the Orkney Islands, an archipelago of 19 inhabited islands lying off the north coast of Scotland. The app is a guide to the history and heritage of the town, highlighting over 70 places of interest and including fascinating historical details, archive images, video and audio clips, maps and walking trails.

The interactive maps will help you explore Kirkwall’s fascinating past, from the Viking Age when the Norse Earls ruled Orkney and built St Magnus Cathedral to the Stewart dynasty, when Earl Patrick Stewart built one of Scotland’s finest 17th century renaissance palaces in the heart of the town.

Find out about the development of Kirkwall harbour, an important trading port linking Scandinavia, the Baltic and Northern Europe to the North Atlantic, Arctic and America. Wealthy merchants who grew rich on this trade built fine stone houses during the 17th and 18th centuries which give Kirkwall much of its character today. Learn about the people who have shaped the history of Kirkwall and Orkney over the centuries, and the origins of local traditions including the Kirkwall Ba’ game played annually in the town’s streets.
