About

The Kirkwall West and Orphir ward encompasses a mix of coastal and rural landscapes on the Orkney Mainland. It includes the western outskirts of the county town, Kirkwall, merging into agricultural land and the long, sheltered expanse of Scapa Flow. The area is defined by low hills, scattered farms, and a coastline of low cliffs and pebble beaches. The ward's settlements are primarily small villages and hamlets, with Orphir serving as a central local hub.

A key historical feature is the Orphir Round Church, a rare 12th-century circular ruin based on designs seen by Norse crusaders. The area's landscape holds significant remnants from both World Wars due to its strategic position overlooking the great naval anchorage. Inland, the land is used for pasture and cultivation, with the Ward Hill area providing expansive views across much of central Orkney.
