Built by Norwegians from 12th Century and as a Catholic Cathedral eventually came under Scottish rule and Church of Scotland but so many historical graves dating back hundreds of years. A must for anyone who has interest in history and architecture so much history in one place. More

Fascinating building with a long and intersting history. Try and get a guided tour it will be worth it More

Fascinating, especially the memorials. The architecture is early Romanesque and there are several interesting objects including a wooden statue of St Olav and staues of the founders, echoing the early history of the islands. More

Beautiful stained glass - amazing architecture. Friendly welcome and easily accessible. Lots of information about the cathedral's history available for detailed examination. More

The upper floor tours are great value for money and give superb views of Kirkwall. More

Good proprtions, lovely stone. Shame about how red sandstone gets abraded after a thousand years or so. More

What a place. Fantastic sandstone cathedral full of history and VERY old, make sure you take time to slowly wander round this fantastic tribute to Norse architecture. More

The cathedral was beautiful in its simplicity. I particularly liked the Memorial to the lives lost on The Royal Oak. More

This wonderful cathedral just oozes history and is so beautiful. We spent ages reading the various tombstones and admiring the stained-glass windows. More
