St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. The image shows the cathedral from a corner view, with the nave on the right and a transept and then the choir on the left. It is topped off by a tower with a pointed spire. The cathedral is made of mainly red stone with yellow stone details and there are graves in the foreground. The scene is in sunshine.

The magnificent St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney, started in 1137 by the Norse Earl Rognvald to celebrate the sainthood of his uncle, Earl Magnus, who had been killed in 1117. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

St. Magnus Cathedral at Kirkwall in Orkney. Built from local red and yellow sandstone, the Cathedral was founded in 1137, and is Britain’s most northerly cathedral. 📸 My own. #MedievalMonday #StMagnusCathedral #Orkney

St Magnus Cathedral was founded in 1137 by the Viking, Earl Rognvald, in honour of his uncle St Magnus who was martyred here in Orkney. Many years ago we visited all the archaeological sites on the main Orkney island. A dream of a visit.

Two wooden doors with ornate curling iron designs flanking an arched doorway looking out onto a street showing a blue fronted shop at the bottom of a 4 storey building. Sunlight is streaming in the doorway, lighting up the right hand door and leaving the left in shadow. This is the main entrance to St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney, founded when Orkney was still part of a Norse Earldom
