Description
Kirkwall (Scots: Kirkwaa or Kirkwal ; Scottish Gaelic: Bàgh na h-Eaglaise ; Norn: Kirkavå ) is the largest town in Orkney, an archipelago to the north of mainland Scotland.
The name Kirkwall comes from the Norse name Kirkjuvágr ("Church Bay"), which later changed to Kirkvoe , Kirkwaa and Kirkwall. Kirkwall was formerly the site of an ancient Norse town founded approximately 1000 years ago. Today, it is a transport hub with ferries to many locations.
