St Magnus Cathedral is one of Orkney's most iconic locations, and one of its most popular too. But did you know that you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the Upper Levels of the cathedral?

Guided tours are held every Thursday and Saturday at 11am and 2pm and gives visitors a chance to walk up the narrow, spiral, stone staircases of this stunning sandstone cathedral.
