'St Magnus Cathedral, founded in 1137, represents the cosmopolitan nature of medieval Orkney, having been founded by a Norwegian for the people of Orkney, built by mansons influenced by the cathedrals of Durham and Dunfermline, and used as the family mausoleum of the earls and the centre of the cult of St Magnus - Orkney's warrior saint.'
