15 July Scot 4 Orkney

Kirkwall turned out to be as dull as ditchwater (sorry Kirkwall) and the only place of any real interest is St Magnus Cathedral.  It was built during the 1100’s and was originally part of the Norwegian Diocese

St Magnus 1

The tomb of Dr John Rae, renowned Arctic Explorer (we like the way he is portrayed)

St Magnus 2

St Magnus 3

St Magnus 4

This is a painting by a famous Norwegian artist (can’t remember his name but there was an exhibition of his paintings in the Cathedral while we happened to visit.
