About this spot
St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, an architectural marvel is the most northerly cathedral in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1137, the cathedral's stunning Romanesque architecture, adorned with intricate carvings and stained glass windows, evokes a sense of awe and reverence.
Plan to be an early riser and catch the cathedral bathed in the first rays of the sun. It's totally worth waking up early for – the morning light will paint the cathedral in a golden and reddish hue, and you'll have the whole place to yourself.
