St Magnus Cathedral

ST MAGNUS CATHEDRAL is one of Orkney's most magnificent landmarks - towering above the Kirkwall landscape with its distinctive red sandstone hues.

Work began on construction of the 'finest church the North had ever seen' in 1137, and it now belongs to the 'people of Kirkwall'.
