The Earl's Palace, standing in the heart of Kirkwall in Orkney and perhaps the finest Renaissance building in Scotland. Together with the neighbouring Bishop's Palace it helps chart the course of a turbulent period in Orkney's history.

The sign over the gate at Highland Park Distillery near Kirkwall in Orkney, founded in 1798. And a pagoda that works: this is one of those all-too-rare distilleries with its own traditional floor maltings and kilns.

Scapa Distillery, overlooking Scapa Bay not far south of Kirkwall in Orkney. A great distillery to visit, and it comes complete with its name painted in large letters, Islay-esque style, on a sea-facing warehouse wall. #Scotch #whisky More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kirkwall/scapadistillery/index.html
