In the heart of the Orkney Islands is Kirkwall, with its Viking Cathedral and historical buildings standing alongside modern shops and restaurants. At Hatston on Kirkwall's outskirts, the MV Hrossey and MV Hjaltland docks and departs to Lerwick and Aberdeen. To the East are the parishes of St Ola, St Andrews, Holm, Tankerness and Deerness, with archaeological treasures (Mine Howe), picturesque villages and sandy beaches (Dingieshowe) to discover.
