| About
Kirkwall: |
Founded around 1035 by
Earl Rognvald Brusason, the City and Royal Burgh of Kirkwall
is the capital and administrative centre of Orkney. The
name comes from the Old Norse, 'Kirkjuvagar' meaning 'church-bay'
and refers to a much older church than the present day
Cathedral. The original town is one of the best preserved
examples of an ancient Norse town.

| About
Lerwick: |
Lerwick, the lively capital
of Shetland, centres around its important and busy harbour,
particularly during the summer months, when yachts, cruise
liners, private yachts and motor cruisers arrive from
ports all around the North Atlantic.
Lerwick has a population of around 7,500, approximately
one third of Shetland's total population. The shops, pubs,
restaurants, hotels and guesthouses bustle all year with
locals, visiting businessmen, tourists and seafarers.
A mix of old and new, the town offers visitors a range
of things to do and see.
