Fishing Lakes in Kirkwall

Kirkwall's six listed waters are all lochs, which sets the tone for anyone planning a trip here rather than seeking rivers or canals. Loch of Harray and Loch of Boardhouse sit among the names on this page, alongside Loch of Hundland, Loch of Kirbister, Loch of Swannay and Loch of Tankerness — a spread that gives visitors a genuine choice of stillwater venues without leaving the immediate area.

For those wanting to widen the search, Stromness has its own page nearby, with two further listings. But with six lochs already on offer around Kirkwall, there's enough here to fill a Saturday without travelling further.
