Day 11 - Kirkwall, Orkney Islands
The capital of the Orkney Islands feels more Scandinavian than Scottish. Kirkwall echoes Christian, Nordic and Celtic history. Twisting lanes lead to ruined 12th-century palaces. The Orkney Wireless Museum, dedicated to the history of radio, and Tankerness House, are worth visiting.
