Visiting Orkney? The Orkney Islands, and the main settlement of Kirkwall, provide a truly breathtaking and amazing escape for anyone interested in the vast history that's present within the island system. It's an unforgettable experience for those that visit this magical place.

The most notable landmarks of Kirkwall and the greater Orkeny Islands are the celebrated neolithic sights - many of which are truly world famous. There are many ruins and echoes of the past to be seen here - indeed the neolithic sights of Scara Brae, The Ring Of Brodgar and the Standing Stones Stenness, alongside the Broch Of Gurness, are among the top tourist attractions of Kirkwall and Orkney. Across the island you'll see the footsteps of men and humanity at every turn. Great places of historical importance aren't hard to find around Orkney and they remain some of the must-visit attractions of Orkney.

The town of Kirwall has plenty to see too, the St Magnus Cathedral and Earl's Palace, which can both be visited within a short period of time, are two of the most notable landmarks of Kirkwall. There's plenty of history around Kirkwall in general so any tourist will enjoy a stroll around the streets of Kirkwall.

An Orkney travel guide will definite touch on the natural beauty and landscapes of Orkney, the surrounding Kirkwall area include the famous natural harbors of Scarpa Flow. Lost warships scatter the island and waterways here as activity during the Worl War conflicts and times long before have always demanded action on the tides here - you'll also find the famous Churchill barriers linking many of the islands here.

Two other great things to see and do on Orkney are a visit to the Italian Chapel, built by POW's during World War 2, the chapel is one of the most visited places on Orkney - and there's also a visit to the second city of Orkney in Stromness, it too has an amazing history and a well-reviewed museum on site.
