Little High Street

Travelling along a thin paved thoroughfare

this high street, once voted the best in Scotland!

between tightly packed homes and local shops

a hub of Kirkwall life, on Orkney Mainland

halfway along there`s a house that stands out

a pretty little garden leading to a crocked door

to the Highland Park decorated gable end wall, 

 this is the centre of the community, for sure!

with distinctive buildings lining both sides 

a sycamore remains, where once there were three

limited parking and no pavements to use

well,  this high street is unique, we all agree!
