The first recorded bishop was Henry of Lund (also known as "the Fat") who was appointed sometime prior to 1035. [63] The bishopric appears to have been under the authority of the Archbishops of York and of Hamburg-Bremen at different times during the early period and from the mid-twelfth century to 1472 was subordinate to the Archbishop of Nidaros (today's Trondheim).

Ioannis Tzetzes, Chiliades, book 8, 8.63 CONCERNING THE ISLES OF THE HESPERIDES AND THE BRITISH ISLES (STORY 218) A charred hazelnut shell, recovered in 2007 during excavations in Tankerness on the Mainland, has been dated to 6820–6660 BC, indicating the presence of Mesolithic nomadic tribes. [27] The earliest known permanent settlement is at Knap of Howar, a Neolithic farmstead on the island of Papa Westray, which dates from 3500 BC. The village of Skara Brae, Europe's best-preserved Neolithic settlement, is believed to have been inhabited from around 3100 BC. [28] Other remains from that era include the Standing Stones of Stenness, the Maeshowe passage grave, the Ring of Brodgar and other standing stones. Many of the Neolithic settlements were abandoned around 2500 BC, possibly due to changes in the climate.

Once in Orkney, better to have your own car to discover all the things to do in Orkney on mainland and in the neighboring islands. So, I recommend you take the ferry with your car from Mainland Scotland. This way as soon as you disembark, you can head to the first amazing attractions. No time wasted. It is not a big town, but it is the largest with a population around 9000. The population is approximately 9,300.

There is a rich natural habitat here and the island is home to many breeds of birds and animals. Otters frequent the ferry terminal at Loth and seals are an almost permanent fixture around the beaches. Expect to see plenty of lapwings, curlews and oystercatchers too.About our libraries". www.orkneylibrary.org.uk. Archived from the original on 15 November 2017 . Retrieved 15 November 2017.
