Earl's Palace, Congregational Church & Manse
Showing the top of the Earl's Palace in Kirkwall, looking up Palace Road towards the airport, with the end of the Congregational Church and the rooves of the manse and other houses.
The Earl in question was a bad lot - apparently got his kicks torturing and taxing the locals. My mother said this building exuded evil and refused to go into it, so ca' canny if you might be the same.

Main Street
Paradoxically Main Street is not the principal street of Kirkwall. It is the short southern continuation of Victoria Street. Most of the houses are 18th century, including the West End Hotel with the blue window embrasures, which was built in 1824 for William Richan of Rapness.
