Absolutely magnificent place. The stonework a joy. Unlike many such cathedrals in Scotland from this period intact completely. The huge central pillars are impressive, the red stone gives a different and warm feel. On day we went flower show. Some pics taken, cluedo one has some nice nods to game. HMS Royal Oak memorial moving.
Splendid place to visit and welcomes all comes to the church of Scotland services held there. Lots to see and there is a leaflet with an interesting tour to follow. Look out for the carving on the choir seats.
St Magnus Cathedral is a must-see in Kirkwall. Very interesting architecture and a beautiful building. It carries its Norse heritage with poise.
St Magnus Cathedral known as the ‘Light in the North’ was founded in 1137 by the Viking, Earl Rognvald, in honour of his uncle St Magnus who was martyred here in Orkney. The Cathedral belongs to the people of Orkney and its doors are open to all.nnSet in the heart of Kirkwall, the capital city of the Orkney Islands, it is a place of stillness, of inspiration, of warmth, and is steeped in the presence of God. We invite you to explore this website which contains information about many aspects of the Cathedral’s life and when you do visit Orkney we look forward to welcoming you to worship or to a time of quiet reflection and contemplation.nnThe worshipping community over the centuries has been part of the Roman Catholic Church, the Norwegian Church, the Scottish Episcopal Church, and the Church of Scotland Presbyterian. The worshipping community thus inherits an ecumenical tradition. Today, in addition to our local congregation, worshippers come from a whole host of denominational backgrounds and none.
It is a lovely building standing very proud in the centre of Kirkwall and is the most northerly cathedral in Britain. I liked the striking contrast, in places, of the different coloured bricks. Inside it is a scene of total splendour.nI may have included a couple of photos from just around the corner, so please forgive me.nI thought that they tied in well.
