## About

St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Britain's most northerly cathedral, was founded in 1137 by the Viking Earl Rognvald in honour of his uncle St Magnus, martyred on Orkney. Built over three centuries in red and yellow sandstone, the 'Light in the North' is one of the finest and best-preserved medieval cathedrals in Scotland. The cathedral belongs to the people of Orkney, and its Church of Scotland congregation worships in a contemporary liturgical style, welcoming visitors of every tradition and none.
