Kirkwall is the historic capital of Orkney. The town is centrally located on the main island. Kirkwall is seven miles (11kms) from Finstown, 15 miles (24kms) from St Margaret's Hope and 61 miles (26kms) from the town of Stromness. The Hatston ferry terminal is run by NorthLink Ferries, and is situated approximately two miles (three kilometres) from the town centre.

Shops and dining establishments can be found within a stone's throw of the harbour. Most of Kirkwall's excellent shops can be found on Bridge and Albert streets. Tourist information is provided by the Orkney Tourist Board, and their offices can be found in both Kirkwall and Stromness.

The ferry terminal boasts adequate passenger amenities featuring vending machines providing hot and cold beverages, enquiries and ticket sales, and public pay telephones. Physically handicapped travellers will find specially designated lavatories, and all areas of the terminal are accessible by wheelchair. Please note that the ferry terminal doesn't have a left baggage facility; luggage is left at your own risk.
