St Magnus Cathedral (continued)
has been rebuilt upon a disproportioned and truncated plan. The light is admitted at the eastern end through a lofty, well proportioned and richly ornamented Gothic Window, and the pavement is covered with inscriptions, in different languages, distinguishing the graves of noble Orcadians who have at different times been deposited within these sacred precincts. The eastern end alone is fitted up for public worship. This place of worship is separated by a screen from the nave and western limit of the cross.
