Orkney, also known as the Orkney Islands, is an archipelago in the north of Scotland. The main town, Kirkwall, stands guard over these desolate isles, its sombre Saint Magnus Cathedral, and the austere ruins of the Bishop’s and Earl’s Palaces serve as reminders of a tumultuous past. The ancient Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae and the haunting Ring of Brodgar radiate a chilling energy, casting an uncanny veil over the archipelago.
