Laing House is a delightful traditional home and retains historical importance. The building dates back to the early 1700s, and was the birthplace of Malcolm Laing a local historian 1762- 1818 and Samuel Laing a renowned travel writer and translator 1780- 1868. Their father Robert Laing planted the tree, which is one of the many focal points in Albert Street and stands outside Laing House.
Laing house is perfectly situated in the heart of Kirkwall and provides an excellent base. We are just a short stroll from the many superb restaurants, bars, cafés, shops and historic attractions and are only minutes away from the bus and ferry terminals, which provide an excellent service for the explorers among you.
