War Graves Week begins on 16 May this year, and to mark the event you can join a free guided tour of St Magnus Cathedral's graveyard in the heart of Kirkwall.

The guided walk will look at the Commonwealth War Graves in the cemetery as well as the Kirkwall & St Ola War Memorial, and the mentions on family headstones of those casualties of war buried elsewhere in the world.

The tour starts at the War Memorial at 12.30pm and lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. There is no charge and there is no need to book.
