Earl's Palace

The Earl’s Palace was built around 1606 by Patrick Stewart, Earl of Orkney. Known as ‘Black Patie’, the tyrannical Patrick ruled the Northern Isles with an iron fist from 1592 until his execution for the treason in 1615. It was declared at his trial that he used slave labour to build his residences.
