With a landmark 12th century Viking cathedral and an internationally famend whiskey distillery (Highland Park), Kirkwall punches effectively above its weight. This small city is the centre of life within the windswept Orkney Islands. Identified in Previous Norse as Kirkjuvagr, Kirkwall started life as a small village with a sheltered harbour earlier than quickly increasing within the 12th century to develop into an vital North Atlantic Viking stronghold. Today it is the proper base from which to discover the landscapes and neolithic websites of Orkney, boasting a spread of motels, and unbiased retailers and eateries. This movie offers you a style of Kirkwall and options an interview with Judith Glue (whose knitwear retailer has confronted the cathedral for over 40 years) and standard native artist Jane Glue (whose artwork is offered by means of www.janeglue.com).
