Blue Door
About
Blue Door in Orkney keeps its doors open on Victoria St in Kirkwall, the main town of the Orkney islands. The gift shop trades from 63 Victoria St, Kirkwall KW15 1DQ, United Kingdom, in the heart of the town's shopping street.
As a gift shop, Blue Door offers the kind of small keepsakes and presents visitors pick up while travelling around Orkney. A 5 out of 5 average from 8 reviews marks it as a shop with a small but satisfied following. Kirkwall, Stromness, St Margaret's Hope, Finstown, Hoy, South Ronaldsay and Westray make up the settlements and islands that surround it.
First-time visitors should expect a compact retail space rather than a large store, with shelves of gift items to browse at leisure. The shop sits within easy reach of the rest of Kirkwall's centre, so it fits naturally into a walk around town.
Standing stones, brochs and early Christian chapels survive on many British islands, and Orkney holds some of the finest examples. British islands are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights, so getting to Orkney takes a little planning. Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer, which gives the warmer months a lively feel. A stop at Blue Door fits neatly into a day spent exploring Kirkwall and the wider Orkney mainland.
