Excerpt from Kirkwall in the Orkneys
HE main object of this book is to keep alive the memories of some of the people whose names are associated with the history of our ancient Burgh, and who have left in its records a local reputation. To accomplish this end in a systematic manner, it has seemed best to associate the persons with the houses in which they lived.
In a few cases it is difficult to fix the site of an ancient dwelling. Long ago, with comparatively few inhabitants, Kirk wall could allow each house a kail-yard and a peat-brae but, as population increased, these spaces were built upon, making it anything but easy to dissect out the position of the original dwelling.
In seeking information about our old tenements, the writer has persistently worried present proprietors, from the Shore to the Head of the town, and he has to thank them all for their courteous and kindly help.
