Kirkwall anchors a group of islands that also includes Stromness, St Margaret's Hope, Finstown, Hoy, South Ronaldsay and Westray, all reachable by car ferry, passenger ferry or scheduled flight. Island shops and harbourside cafés sell smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread, which pair well with an evening drink. Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and Manx shearwaters breed on British island cliffs and offshore islets, so a coastal day can precede a night out. Channel Islanders speak English alongside Norman-French dialects such as Jèrriais and Guernésiais, a reminder of the linguistic layers across Britain's islands.
