About this tour
A town-and-harbour walk about Kirkwall as Orkney's connected island hub: radio and wartime communications at the Orkney Wireless Museum, the harbour and bay, civic memorials, local shops and benches, and the way Scapa Flow memory sits behind everyday Kirkwall. Keep the route walkable from the centre and harbour; do not drift into a scattered island driving tour.
