Orphir
Orphir ( Old Norse: Jorfjara/Orfjara) is a parish and settlement in Mainland, Orkney. It is approximately southwest of Kirkwall, and comprehends a seaboard tract of about 7 by 3½ miles (11 by 5½ km), and includes Cava and the Holm of Houton. The coast includes Houton Head, about , but all elsewhere is nearly level; and the interior is an assemblage of vales and hills, the latter culminating at about above sea level, and commanding fine views.
A chief residence was the Hall of Clestrain; and chief antiquities include the ruins of Earl Paul's Palace, remains of pre-Reformation chapels, and several tumuli.
