Kirkwall (old Norwegian "kirkjuvagr" = "church bay") lies by a broad bay and at the narrowest point on the island. Of the 14,000 Orcadians who live on Mainland, about half reside in the island's main town. Its narrow streets and gray houses with tiny windows and gables overlooking the street are reminiscent of Norwegian architecture.
