History The castle was constructed in two phases. The first phase of work, begun in the 1570s, consisted of the great hall located in the south range, above the main door. Beside this was Lord Orkney s private chamber in the south east corner tower. An inscription above the entrance, dated 1574, marks this phase. The second phase, completed in the 1580s, saw a new range containing a great hall and chamber built on the north side of the courtyard. The second phase probably followed Robert s acquisition of the Earl of Orkney Earldom of Orkney in 1581. After the death of Robert Stewart, the palace was used only occasionally by later earls of Orkney, and was not occupied after the mid 17th century. ref name rcahms cite web url http canmore.rcahms.gov.uk en site 1836 details birsay earl s palace title Earl s Palace accessdate ...
