Bishop's and Earl's Palaces, Kirkwall

Highlights

• The location – at the heart of ancient Kirkwall, in the shadow of the wonderful St Magnus’s Cathedral.
• Inside the Bishop’s Palace – imagining the momentous event that took place there in December 1263 when the great King Hakon of Norway died.
• The frontal façade of the Earl’s Palace – with its array of oriel windows, corbelled turrets and elaborate entrance.
