It's just a short walk from the pier to Orkney Distillery, where award-winning Kirkjuvagr gin is produced. Upon arrival, enjoy an exclusive guided tour of the facility and engage in an informative discussion with founder and master distiller Stephen Kemp. Learn about the origins of the brand and the signature botanicals used in its blends and engage in a tasting of this fine spirit. Cheers! Then, continue the day with a guided stroll through the historical Old Town of Kirkwall, the Viking capital of Orkney. Keep your camera at the ready for such sights as the 12th-century red sandstone Cathedral of St. Magnus, the well-preserved ruins of Bishop's Palace, and Earl's Palace, one of Scotland's most elegant Renaissance buildings. Conclude with independent exploration of the Tankerness House museum and gardens. Walk to the ship with your guide or stay in town to shop and return on your own.
