Kirkwall and St Ola - Kirkwall and St Ola are the county’s main centre of population home to around 8,000. Kirkwall is an ancient royal burgh and cathedral city and it wears its history well with a magnificent cathedral, two ancient palaces and narrow winding streets and closes which play host to the historic ‘Ba game. The 21st century is here too with great transport links, schools and a university campus, a large hospital and wide range of cultural and sporting amenities.
Every June Kirkwall plays host to the revered St Magnus International arts Festival. Highland Park and Scapa distilleries both lie near the City boundaries and produce two of Scotland’s most renowned single malt whiskies.
