Witches of Orkney

Discover Orkney’s historical witchcraft trials, held 400 years ago. During those dark days, more than 70 Orkney women and men were taken to court accused of witchcraft, sorcery and necromancy.

The tour starts at Parliament Close, on the corner of Bridge Street and Albert Street in Kirkwall, and concludes at the town’s execution site at the top of Palace Road, now home to a special memorial to all those who lost their lives due to witchcraft trials.
