Kirkwall misses out on high street award

Despite hopes that Kirkwall might be crowned the UK’s best high street, it was Crickhowell in Wales which was handed the top prize at the Great British High Street Awards, today.

Kirkwall had been shortlisted for the awards, with judges visiting earlier this year.

Commiserations go to Kirkwall BID, which has done a wonderful job promoting the town in the run up to the awards.
