    Tips

    July 4, 2023

    Set in a rugged and exposed location, St Peter's offers commanding views over Skaill Bay with Skara Brae in the distance. A simple building, the church's only exterior decoration is a low bell tower with a bulbous finial. The interior is dominated by a towering pulpit that reaches gallery height, flanked by round-headed windows. The austere space powerfully evokes the experience of Presbyterian worship in the 19th century, when more than 500 people filled the building, each with just an 18-inch pew.
    In the care of Historic Churches Scotland.
