Uploader's Comments

St Boniface Kirk is the only church in Orkney, apart from St. Magnus Cathedral, to survive the Reformation and remain in use in the present day. The kirk was abandoned in 1929, but maintained until 1944. The building was restored in 1993 and is regularly used for services and concerts.
