Kirkwall Port Ferry Overview
Kirkwall is the largest town and capital of Orkney, off the coast of northern mainland Scotland. 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.
Founded around 1035 by Earl Rognvald Brusason, Kirkwall is the administrative centre of Orkney. With its harbour and airport, it is the arrival point for ferries from Shetland and Aberdeen, cruise ships, and flights from the UK, and departure point for ferries to the other islands in Orkney. It is the best place to stock up on supplies for heading on, as it boasts the only large supermarket in Orkney.
Ferry services to the Port of Kirkwall are offered by Northlink Ferries with ferries operating to Aberdeen and on to Lerwick. Kirkwall Ferry Port is located just a few minutes from the centre of Kirkwall standing at the dividing point between East and West Mainland.
