Through the Window!

Spying our history through history

ready and willing to tell its story

where time stretches way back in time

Picts, Vikings, not forgetting the Ba

light brings life to each coloured stone

detailed around every window and door 

altered many times through centuries

this vibrant building is no dinosaur

through a Bishop's Palace window spied

majestic St Magnus Cathedral is eyed

the tallest building in the community

as Kirkwall folk come together in unity

don't walk past and ignore this great view

stop and enjoy its beauty along the way

each and everyone is part of the story

history has made us who we are today
