Kirkwall is the largest town on the island of Mainland, the largest of the Orkney Islands. Over 7000 people live here. From the harbor there are the ferry connections to the some islands of the northern Orkneys and as I am sailing to Aberdeen.

The city is located on a isthmus between East and West Mainland. From here ferries to most islands in the northern Orkneys and Aberdeen. The crossing can sometimes be very stormy. But worth it

The Orkneys' main port is in Kirkwall. While the port for ferries from Scotland's north coast is in the west of the main island, cruise ships and ferries from Aberdeen dock in the north-east of the mainland.
