St Magnus Cathedral dominates the skyline of Kirkwall, the main town of Orkney, a group of islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland. It is the most northerly cathedral in the United Kingdom, a fine example of Romanesque architecture built for the bishops of Orkney when the islands were ruled by the Norse Earls of Orkney. 

One of Scotland's oldest stone castles, this is associated with the Norwegian Viking giant Kolbein Hruga.

Among the tall green grass and purple heather between Loch Harray and Stenness, the Ring of Brodgar standing stones thrust from the earth like rusting giants’ swords. At 340 feet (104 meters) in diameter, 27 of the original 60 stones survive, making this the third-biggest stone circle in Britain. 

Ring of Brodgar

Yesnaby Castle is found just south of the Brough of Bigging in Yesnaby on the west coast of Orkney mainland.
