Abstract

In July 2010, researchers from Robert Gordon University, in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen, conducted a pilot research project which investigated the role of the main street (i.e. Bridge Street, Albert Street, Broad Street and Victoria Street) in sustaining cultural identity, community, and a sense of place in Kirkwall, and in Orkney more widely. This project built on previous research conducted by Robert Gordon University which examined journey making and travel behaviour in Kirkwall as part of a wider study looking at car culture in the town.
