Kirkwall Ba Game Tour
The ‘Kirkwall Ba Game’ is a traditional game of football, played on Christmas and New Years day, in the streets of Kirkwall, by two teams the ‘Uppies’ and the ‘Doonies’.
The Kirkwall Ba Game’ Tour will give you a flavour of the game, as your guide himself played the game for over thirty years. The tour will start outside the Cathedral in Broad Street, where the Ba or ball is thrown up. You will then travel up the street to the ‘Uppies’ goal at ‘Mackison’s Corner’, on the southern edge of the old town. Finally the tour will go down the street to the ‘Doonies’ goal at the harbour. Your guide will tell you some of the stranger Ba stories and terms such as ‘Chains’, ‘Dummies’ and ‘Smuggles’ will be explained to you.
