Description

Junction Road

Kirkwall is the capital of Orkney. For centuries it was the capital of the Norse - held Nordreyjar – the Northern Isles. But that ended in 1469 when Christian I of Norway failed to pay the dowry promised to his son-in-law, James III of Scotland; James called in the debt by assuming sovereignty of Orkney and Shetland.
