Scotland is a land of legends and romance, from Robert the Bruce and Macbeth to lake monsters and the tragic Mary Queen of Scots. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Scotland:

THIS is SCOTLAND!!! MUST SEE Spots in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands
Our last day in Scotland on our British Isles cruise on Norwegian Dawn takes us to the Orkney Islands off the Northern coast and the city of Kirkwall. We booked this cruise ‘last minute’ and all of the excursions in the port were full so we are exploring the town.
We start our on-our-own walking tour at St. Magnus Cathedral which was founded in the 12th century. It is a beautiful church with a surrounding kirkyard. Most of the grave stones cannot be read as they are so old. We can only make out the ones from the 1800-1900’s and there are not many of those.
Next to the cathedral are two castle ruins: Bishop’s Palace (12th century) and Earl’s Palace (17th century). Both are beautiful and I wish we would have been there in season so we could see inside.
It was a short, but great day in Scotland! Back on the ship, it’s time to hit the spa!

The best places to visit on the Orkney Islands – Scotland (United Kingdom)
From several places in Scotland, the ferry leaves for Orkney. If you are lucky, you’ll pass the Old Man of Hoy (the male version of Heligoland’s Lange Anna ;)). Mainland, the main island of Orkney, offers unique and interesting tourist attractions. During my time there, I visited many old sights, including the Prehistoric Ring of Brodgar, Standing Stones of Stenness and Skara Brae. Also, the Italian Chapel and Churchill Barriers from the Second World War period, may not be missed when you discover this breathtaking island.
This is Kirkwall, Orkney (Mini Travel Guide) featuring Judith and Jane Glue #visitorkney
With a landmark 12th century Viking cathedral and an internationally renowned whiskey distillery (Highland Park), Kirkwall punches well above its weight. This small town is the centre of life in the windswept Orkney Islands. Known in Old Norse as Kirkjuvagr, Kirkwall began life as a small village with a sheltered harbour before rapidly expanding in the 12th century to become an important North Atlantic Viking stronghold. These days it's the perfect base from which to explore the landscapes and neolithic sites of Orkney, boasting a range of hotels, and independent shops and eateries. This film will give you a taste of Kirkwall and features an interview with Judith Glue (whose knitwear store has faced the cathedral for over 40 years) and popular local artist Jane Glue (whose art is available through

Cruising into Kirkwall on a Sunday posed a dilemma. Most shops are shut on Sundays. Bars and cafes are open however. Wanting to see some of the historical sites we booked a cruise excursion. This was a bus tour taking in key sights on the island and a visit to the jaw dropping Skara Brae Stone Age village.
This site is simply outstanding and the 3500 year old houses have fireplaces, beds and mantelpieces. There is an excellent museum too.
Some visited the nearby Skaill Manor House whereas we took a stroll on the magnificent beach.
Bus back to Kirkwall for refreshments in a pub and an explore of St Magnus Cathedral which dominates the town.
