Whilst the people of Orkney are not as religious as, say, the Western Islands, the local paper is full every week, with times of services for the various churches dotted around the islands.

Why not join in? Whilst away from your local church, why not visit an Orcadian church on a Sunday?

There are unusual venues - from Roman Catholic services held in the Italian Chapel, to Church of Scotland services held within the red walls of the St Magnus Cathedral, going to church in Orkney will be an experience you will never forget.
