April 26, 2023,Kleine Tour um Kirkwall ohne Schottenrock

Kirkwall (Insular Scottish: Kirkwaa; Old Norse: Kirkjuvágr) is the capital of the island of Mainland, the largest of the Scottish Orkneys. The tour was quite relaxed and the weather cooperated. From the ancient cathedral and Viking heritage to shopping and art.
