As someone who didn't used to enjoy going to the dentist, I now say that it's actually almost a pleasure. The dentists and staff are excellent, friendly and great at putting you at ease. The best ever.

Cheerful and knowledgeable staff. The most pleasant dentists I've visited.

Lovely people, always so kind and helpful

Good services offered

Went to A&E wouldn't see or treat me as my doctor already was and I never looked ill enough 🤒

My wife developed an inner ear infection during our vacation in the Orkneys. We went to A&E at Balfour's and were SO impressed and grateful for their excellent attention, us being foreigners and all. Thank you especially, Dr. Watson, for salvaging our vacation!

Oberhalb der Altstadt von Kirkwall befindet sich diese kleine Kirche.Die Fenster mit den Christlichen Geschichten sind ein echter "Hingucker". Wenn Ihr zu Fuß auf dem Weg zur Highland-Park Distillery seit, liegt sie auf der linken Seite.

The flat earth society owns this church. Halleujah

Good

Wonderful people

The Orkney Islands Council is the local authority for Orkney, Scotland. It was established in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and was largely unaffected by the Scottish local government changes of the mid-1990s. It provides services in the areas of Environmental Health, Roads, Social Work, Community Development, Organisational Development, Economic Development, Building Standards, Trading Standards, Housing, Waste, Education, Burial Grounds, Port and Harbours and others. The council is allowed to collect Council Tax. The council is also the harbour authority for Orkney and its Marine Services division manages the operation of the islands' 29 piers and harbours.

Everyone at the council offices are so helpful

Excellent coffee, served by a friendly and knowledgeable barista. Also has a wide selection of teas and hot chocolate for making at home. Be aware that inside is very limited in terms of table space but don't let this discourage you. Take away cups are of the green, recyclable variety.

I was hoping there would be a good bookshop in Kirkwall and I was not disappointed. The shop is quite large and you can take your time to peruse the books, maps that they sell. I bought two books one to encourage me to get out walking next time I visit. The other was to do with Scapa Flow and the brave who lost their lives during the war.

Well stocked "proper" bookshop. They had the maps we sought, also. Excellent

My grandson had his 6th birthday party here. It was an amazing time they made their own pizzas and had great fun. The staff were amazing and really child friendly. I had my lunch there and the food was really good and very affordable. Great place

Stumbled upon this restaurant as a last resort but it was booked until 8 so we made reservation for the following night. Glad we did. Food and service were perfect. Too bad we’re leaving tomorrow. Could’ve eaten here every night.

Dinner in a downstairs booth, fully booked first night here booked for next night. Got harbour views but upstairs better. Food was fresh and delicious. My seafood dish was stunning. Dessert was delicious too. If in Orkney I highly recommend but be sure to book and get an upstairs table.

Lunch at a harbour side window upstairs was delightful on this gorgeous spring day. The staff were friendly and attentive and the meals were first class. My tofu and chickpea salad hit the spot. The local gin and ginger beer drink was a great accompaniment (although a wee but pricey) as were the side order of sweet potato chips (not pricey at all). Thanks for a great meal on our last day in the Orkney Isles!

Very nice meal. Clean if slightly dated interior but decent food and friendly service nonetheless. Recommend.

Had the chicken madras (my usual dish from my local curry house, so was used to the heat). These guys took it to another level. Not only was it tangy, but a lot hotter than my local, so just be aware if you order spicy, you get spicy. Staff were attentive, and on the ball, and next time I'm back in Orkney I definitely getting another curry.
