Kirkwall (Scottish Gaelic: Bàgh na h-Eaglaise) is the largest settlement and capital of Orkney, an archipelago in the north of Scotland, as well as the most populous island settlement in Scotland. The city is first mentioned in Orkneyinga saga in the year 1046 when it is recorded as the residence of Rögnvald Brusason the Earl of Orkney, who was killed by his uncle Thorfinn the Mighty. In 1486, King James III of Scotland elevated Kirkwall to the status of a royal burgh; modern roadsigns still indicate "The City and Royal Burgh of Kirkwall".

Reviewed By dianepattinson111 - Cumbria, United Kingdom
Would highly recommend a trip with Craigies Taxis. From our first email to them, to picking us up at Stromness Ferry and taking us around for 3 hours, everything was done professionally and enjoyably. Archie was a great guide who told us lots of things we wouldn't otherwise have found out on our own. Our party of 7 last Friday thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
