The battery joins the Bishop’s and Earl’s Palaces in Kirkwall, which have also recently reopened further areas of the site to the public, where visitors can explore more of the town’s oldest surviving domestic buildings and one of the best preserved medieval buildings.

Sian Evans, Regional Visitor and Community Manager (North) at Historic Environment Scotland (HES), said: “We are delighted to welcome visitors back to these two iconic sites.

“These historic attractions contain invaluable stories about Scotland’s past, and we are delighted that they can be explored once again.”

The sites join a number of HES sites across Orkney welcoming visitors this season.
