The Kirkwall Webcams overlook the St Magnus Kirk Green and Kirkwall airport which are sponsored by Visit Orkney. There is also a webcam at the Kirkwall Hotel which overlooks the Kirkwall harbour.
Situated on the northern coast of Mainland Orkney and with a population of about 8,500, Kirkwall is a port with ferry services to Aberdeen and Lerwick, as well as the principal north islands in the group.
Kirkwall is one of the most attractive and well-preserved small towns in Scotland. Apart from the main historical buildings, there are many 17th-18th century houses and other structures in the local vernacular style.
One of the main annual events in the town is the Ba Game, held each Christmas Day and New Year's Day between the Uppies and the Doonies; each team representing one half of the town.
