Living in Kirkwall
Kirkwall is the capital of the Orkney Islands, sited on the Mainland. That’s the Orcadian mainland, not the other mainland which can be seen when looking south across the Pentland Firth.
The Orkneys have strong historic links to Scandinavia and you can feel this as you walk the streets of Kirkwall; yes it is Scottish but there is a captivating ‘other-ness’ about the place, perhaps it is the predominance of the 17th and 18th century architecture in parts of the town and ‘The Light of the North’, as St Magnus Cathedral is known, dominating the townscape.
No wonder that tourism plays such a big role – everyone would like to sample what Kirkwall has to offer.
But don’t think for one minute that Kirkwall lives in the past; rather it takes its time-honoured traditions and qualities and gives them a modern twist. A wealth of Orcadian talent commutes between Kirkwall and the rest of the UK and Europe. Modern craftsmen and women, artisans and food producers work here and use cutting-edge technology to run and promote their businesses.
Kirkwall has the same old-fashioned sense of community it always has but today people meet at the new Pickaquoy Centre, the multi-purpose sports and leisure centre with swimming pool, health suites, squash courts, gym, cinema and café or the impressive new Kirkwall Grammar School venue. Kirkwall is awash with music and live music venues.
Kirkwall is home to most of the public service sector work with Orkney Council or NHS Orkney.
Orkney is linked by ferry from Aberdeen, Gills Bay near John O’Groats and a passenger only service from John O’Groats, with air links from Kirkwall Airport with Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh and to Bergen in Norway via the Shetland Islands.
Kirkwall Grammar School also has accommodation for older secondary pupils from the smaller islands and Kirkwall also has the main campus of the Orkney College which is part of the University of the Highlands and islands; Heriot Watt University has a campus at neighbouring Stromness, which is home to its International Centre For Island Technology.
