These two impressive ruins were the residences of the bishops of Orkney from the 12th and 17th centuries respectively. The medieval Bishop's Palace is a sturdy edifice with fine views of St Magnus Cathedral, while Earl's Palace was a model of refinement in its day. With its Renaissance architecture, turrets and vast rooms, it's easy to imagine how superb it once was. Today, they offer a glimpse of their former grandeur.

Le palais du compte vaut le coup d'oeil, certaines pièces du rez de chaussée existent encore, mais le 1er étage n'a plus de toit ! on peut quand même imaginer comment se déroulait la vie dans cette belle demeure, en particulier dans ce qu'il reste de cuisine. par contre il ne reste vraiment pas grand chose du palais de l'évêque...
