Church life in Orkney

Orkney's red sandstone St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, founded by Norse earls in 1137, is Britain's most northerly cathedral and one of its most atmospheric. The islands' scattered parishes, chapels and ancient sites, from Orphir's round kirk to the Italian Chapel, tell nine centuries of island faith.

Whether you are in Kirkwall or a village on the far side of the county, a church community is rarely far away. Our listings are drawn from public records, church websites and submissions from congregations themselves, and we are working towards a complete picture of Christian worship in every corner of Orkney.

After a particular tradition? Use the “by denomination” links to filter to Church of England, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, or independent congregations in Orkney.
