A very happy St Magnus Day to you all!

Amazing serendipity, as my craving to read something new & exciting on Orcadian history while in Orkney is answered! Not only does Peter Marshall have a new book out, but I’ve just been to hear him give a talk about it at St Magnus Cathedral…

Great to get a visit yesterday from Mark Hatton; much gravestone geekery was had with FranFlettHollinrake ☠️

A pleasure to attend a special service of thanksgiving St Magnus Cathedral today to mark 200 years of the RNLI saving lives at sea #RNLI #Orkney #RNLI 200

Did you know there was once a shrine in our cathedral dedicated to St Duthac?

The beauty & detail in the windows of St Magnus Cathedral is surreal.. #stmagnus #cathedral #kirkwall #orkney #orkney islands #throughalensorkney #visitscotland #scotland

The snowdrops are out - surely spring is on its way?

We have tours of the Upper Levels today at 11am and 2pm - come and see the hangman's ladder and other cathedral secrets...call 874894 to book. You must be 12 or over to take the tour.

It’s dreich outside but our triforium is warm and cosy! There are spaces available on the Upper Level Tours at 11am and 2pm - call 874894 to book. You have to be 12 yrs old or over.

Hmmmm….what do you make of this?! 👻

****UPDATE****

Sorry folks, the decision has been taken to close the cathedral at 3pm. We hope you are warm and safe wherever you are!

Please note that the cathedral will be shutting at 4pm today due to the heavy snowfall and ongoing forecast. Stay safe, everyone. ❄️☃️🙏😇
